my gps also works fine. takes a little to get the first lock-on but then its really solid!

could well be an error with your phone hardware! i sent mine in to repair just last week because i got constant reboots due to the SD card disconnecting. i tried a million things and couldn't figure it out. seems like it was the phone that was broken. so if you still have warranty just send in your phone and they will fix it or give you a new one. if you think you lost warranty due to unlocking i think the bootloader can be re-locked again by now. just have a look around xda.

if you dont want to do that try flashing a stock rom and see if the problem persists. also did you install miui after a complete (5x) wipe? if not try wiping your phone completely and installing it fresh.

and seriously, you two guys need to stop taking **** personal, insulting each other and cursing around here. i'm pretty sure otherwise some nice moderater will be so kind as to remove those worthless posts ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] milomak:
Thanks. That sorted me out.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
1.8.19 now up on first post.
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Thanks pseudoheld. Unfortunately I am out of warranty, but the thing is this GPS failure coincided exactly with Gingerbread. Maybe a bad library is not getting overwritten when I flash a new ROM or something, but I don't know how to clear the decks. I've had this problem in CM6, CM7, and MIUI. Always do a factory reset and dalvik clear five times in Amon ra before flashing. At my wit's end with this.

And yeah, I didn't even read b1337's rant when it became clear that he's over-emotionalizing. He can slug it out with himself in the kitchen for all I care.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
updated right now! no problems so far ;)

ok so that also pretty much rules out kernel problems.

maybe try a different radio version. maybe the korean one jbbandos is also using:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=816917

not sure if radio effects gps though :S maybe someone with more insight can help here.

there seems to be an issue report over at google for this problem.

http://www.google.de/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=4e60b45c18d6665c&hl=en&start=240

maybe try this solution some user posted

not pretty but if it gets gps running its better than nothing ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Have you tried changing radio version after flashing a miui rom.

Sent from my phone, please bear with message brevity
[Nexus One Android Development] 74C:
I updated this rom and liked.

Nice job, great ROM!
[Nexus One Android Development] milomak:
One other thing. What does Appshare bring to the party? I mostly use unpaid apps so I can't imagine how it adds value. Is there a way to remove it?
[Nexus One Android Development] himmatwala:
I had previous version of XPART (1.8.12) installed. Should I update the existing or wipe and install fresh of the 1.8.19 XPART. for me the XPART version has been super stable till now.
[Nexus One Android Development] timmoty_g:
Hi JB,

I took a look into parts in your XPART that seperate it from normal A2SD and applied to other version of MIUI ROM, and it works very well.

The standard A2SD MIUI ROM would run in XPART mode after adding those differences into the zip file.

By the way, I found 1.8.12 was stable, I only got 1 forced reboot, but it came back in tack, no data corruption.

I'll give a shot at 1.8.19 later.

Thanks and regards,

Timmoty
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
If you have 1.8.12 with the fix, then there should be no need to do a full wipe, only dalvik and cache. Wiping all is mandatory only if you came from a different ROM or a version previous to 1.8.12.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
You can remove it with Titanium. I should remove appshare, but usually forget to do so.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
It should be enough to flash the 1.8.12 fix on top of a standard MIUI ROM, as I have everything there, the XPART scripts and a dummy a2sd script to overwrite the default one so it won't be called by mistake.

I am glad that 1.8.12 is stable for you, 1.8.19 should also be stable as I didn't do anything else to XPART.
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Ya I'm running the Korean radio.

I've tried GPS Status AGPS Reset and Download about a thousand times, and all the other solutions suggested in this thread, except two. The descriptions in this thread match exactly my experiences: GPS almost never getting a fix, satellites disappearing altogether in GPS Status, and the GPS icon disappearing from the top bar, all since Gingerbread.

- Someone mentioned in Settings|Personal|MyLocation to turn off UseWirelessNetworks, and that did seem to help get a fix more often although I haven't done extensive testing yet.

- Google popped in briefly to say that they had 'fixed' the problem, but didn't say where the fix is. Someone else mentioned an app called 'GPS Fix', which I found in the market from 'Android Labs'... whether that's actually Google or not I don't know.

Now since these two actions, in GPS Status the lock seems to hold much longer, although it still does intermittently drop the fix. Much better, but I must test more to see if this fixes it. The top bar icon has not disappeared so far, though does intermittently blink when the fix is lost.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Two days after having flashed 1.8.19, I just tune in to say thanks and that the rom is working flawlessly... No bugs, no problems, everything runs just fine. (I'm on the A2SD version)

I suppose I'm far from being the only one in this case, since there's no one complaining about anything regarding this one...

But it's better to report when all's good, instead of just coming and pointing out things that don't work! :cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] quangtien_bk:
I get a problem when I tried to flash A2SD version (1.8.5-1.8.19) and choose to wipe dalvick and data cache: my ext partition can not be used, so all my apps are still in intener memory. I have to re-format the EXT of my SD card by PC then I can use A2SD.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
@quantumstate:

maybe the fbi is watching you via satelite and thats why you can't get a fix!

just kidding ;)

really strange issue with your gps but i would still guess its some hardware error. i know you said it worked better back on froyo but that could also mean that the hardware broke since flashing gingerbread. my problems also only appeared some time after gingerbread but they also were just the hardware going but :S
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Well, if you flash that on a previous version on which A2SD was working well, that is quite strange.

If not, that might just be the infamous A2SD initial setup bug... In some cases it just doesn't really install correctly and one needs to either clean flash the DT script, or run a "a2sd repair" after having flashed the rom...
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
Upgraded to 1.8.19 A2SD last night. The phone was used heavily all day, without any issues.

As usual, I did a full wipe before install. I then restored settings via MIUI backup and apps restored in Titanium backup. The original kernel was a bit unstable with interactive governor (as usual), so I flashed Wildmonks kernel. Everything is rock-solid stable so far. I haven't encountered any issues I had in 1.8.12.
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Trying Trapster this morning (after reboot), it couldn't get a GPS fix after 4 minutes, and the GPS icon disappeared and came back. So I then ran the GPS Fix app and it took two minutes to get a fix, and then Trapster had a fix. Although oddly GPS Status didn't see the fix.

So it seems I must run GPS Fix after every reboot. I am now believing this is in fact from G**gle ('G**gle Labs'), and is intended as a workaround for those many of us with the GPS problem in Gingerbread, witnessed by the 7 page thread I linked to above.

I will test further. But is there a way to automatically run an app on reboot?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Do you mean you don't have an ext partition, or that the a2sd scripts weren't unable to reformat it, or that the "a2sd repair" command from terminal didn't work?
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
glad to hear that there is at least some workaround.

as for running apps on startup, (if it isn't built in to the app itself) try the almighty Tasker.

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&feature=search_result

Could well be posible to autolaunch the app but then you probably still would have to click some kind of confirmation to runn it.

but anyhow check out tasker, it also has quite a few features with enabling and disabling gps. i use it A LOT!
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Thanks, but I bought Tasker 8 months ago. Later flashed a new ROM to the phone, and G**gle promptly forgot that I'd bought it. Why try? Haven't forgiven them for that yet.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
i bought tasker directly from the maker via paypal. i then got a code which i can use to re evaluate my copy each time i reinstall tasker on one of the countless roms i flash.

try checking the market checkout you should have gotten via email. there might well be a serial number there which you can then use to validate the app which you can download here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

otherwise just contact the dev over at the http://groups.google.com/group/tasker?pli=1 page. the dev is called "pent" really nice guy. sure he can help you out!
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I now favor using MiUI backup for everything, apps and settings... I keep Titanium for specific backups of specific apps, and for all the "uninstall, detach from market, attach to market, freeze, etc." capabilities it gives.

Titanium couldn't restore Swype correctly, I had always to re-instal it, which is a bit of a PITA under a MiUI rom, whereas it works fine after MiUI restore. Other things are similarly not correctly restored by Titanium. So unless I plan changing to a non-MiUI rom (not something I can see in any close future), I stick to MiUI backup for most everything...

On another point, I do use WM kernel, just like you, for another reason: being undervolted and allowing underclocking down to 128kHz, it's, in my experience, one of the kernels (if not THE kernel) that maximizes my battery life.
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
I haven't ever had a problem with MIUI backup, but got off it when JB said he had trouble. Frankly I've had more trouble with Titanium restored apps.

Good to know about WildMonk's kernel. Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] timmoty_g:
Hi JB,

I'm not sure if it's just me, the long-press power button in the lockscreen no longer offer shortcut for mute, reboot and so on.

Is it just me?

Thanks and regards,

Timmoty
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Hi Timmothy,

You're right, it happens to me too. I don't know if it is due to any changes in the 4-way menu, the volume track change, or MIUI.

I'll try to check during the weekend, while working on the next release.
[Nexus One Android Development] Obsy:
:rolleyes: mine works... (1.8.19 - Xpart)

L.E. Oops in lockscreen doesn't work too... :(
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
Hi Franc38, mind sharing which version of WM Kernel are you running and which governor; setCPU? I am still having difficulty downloading the latest WM kernel, could you point to a working link. I am currently running Tiamat's latest. Pretty good bat performance especially the standby power is awesome.

BIG thank you in advance.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Same here, I have to unlock first to be able to access that "long press power button menu"
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
So I'm currently using the 2.6.38.8 AVS, 950mV CFS AXI 720p 1152MHz 062411 CM7 version of the kernel. Latest "CM7" kernel, using CFS and AVS (in my experience, on my nexus, the best combination for stability and responsiveness, but your mileage may vary).

I got it from here, in the Wildmonk's mediafire depository, which was linked from wildmonk's blog.

In terms of governors, yeah, I'm using setCPU, on demand (I like my phone snappy), with the "screen off" set to 128k-350k or so, and screen on: 128k-1113k, not maxing the OC, but still benefiting from it.

I've achieved tremendous (relative to everything I've tried before) battery life with that. If I stay in a place where network (and/or wifi) reception is good, after unplugging the phone at 8:00 in the morning, the battery level is around 70% at 23:00, having called a few minutes, received mails, downloaded a few things, and let the phone rest most of the time.... (in the end, even if the scree is THE big battery sucker, it never get top of my list in battery usage, almost never on for more than 15 or 20 minutes a day)
[Nexus One Android Development] quangtien_bk:
I have an EXT partition, I create it by partition tool on pc and used a2sd from version 1.8.5, when I upgrade to 1.8.12 and 1.8.19, I have to re-format my EXT partition by pc, because of a2sd scripts unable to re-format it.

Before reformat by pc, I still can see sd-ext partition in a2sdgui but the apps that i istalled are in internal memory and in Titanium back up does not have "sd card for a2sd", after reformat by pc there is "sd card for a2sd" in Titanium back up, I used "a2sd repair" or "a2sd reinstall" and then all apps moved to ext partition fine
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
hi guys. 1 simple question. when I receive a call I got my screen light up for a sec or 2 then it "turns off" since by the sensor I got the cell on my desk and not always next to my ear! The problem is that while it keeps ringing with the black screen ... I can't see who's calling me!!! Is there any fix to this!? Should I turn off the proximity sensor option? But I don't want to risk to answer while the phone is in my pocket! I simply would like to have the possibility to see who is calling me maybe pressing che trackball to light up the screen ... instead it takes a while to light up it while someone is keeping calling me :P
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
Running nearly the exact same setup as you. works very well but you might want to try a different cpu governor. the wildmonks kernel supports some of the newer governors like smartass or savagedzed (which both ramp down the cpu faster to achieve better battery life)

try backing up your sd card and then create an ext partition in your phones recovery. try using amonRa (which i find better than clockwork) and go to partition sdcard and then choose the setup. it will format i ext2 first (i think) but you can then change it to ext3 or ext4 if you so wish (and if the kernel supports it)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Humm, sounds interesting... that didn't exist at the time I did my initial set up, and to be honest, I stopped exploring those governors, since it was working rather well for me.

So between they two, what are the differences and which do you prefer, I you don't mind saying?
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
there is a really cool roundup of the governors i think ch33kybutt wrote this. check it out very informative:

http://pastebin.com/KGnGh6mh

atm im jumping from savagedzen to interactiveX. still not quite settled but savagedzen seems to be faster waking up. interactiveX takes a while to wake from standby.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Well, SavagedZen is too slow to wake up for my taste... I've had troubles waking my phone up, etc. with it. So I go to smartass, which seems OK to me ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] quangtien_bk:
Ok, I will try to use amonRa for the next time.

Thank you

1.8.26 is out on MIUI site?
[Nexus One Android Development] b1337:
then flash away :)
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
Hi Franc38, appreciate the sharing. I am downloading the kernel to give it a spin. Like I said in my earlier post, the wildmonk's blog link, for some unknown reason is not working for me :(
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Very helpful post there, b1337.
[Nexus One Android Development] bunnahabhain:
Indeed it is - whereas yours is useless. Everybody knows when and that the new releases are out. But that has nothing to do with this thread.

If you want to flash 1.8.26 then flash it. If you want the optimised QND-MIUI then wait until XJ releases the multilanguage-pack and shortly after that this ROM will be updated.
[Nexus One Android Development] b1337:

[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
In the 1.8.19 I still have the icon order problem in the launcher bar. even if I placed opera in the 4° position, at every boot it's in 5° position since I moved it in the sd.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
If you moved it with the froyo type a2sd, then it might make sense, as it will be loaded last by the launcher. So the other 4 app icons will be loaded, the bar drawn, and only after the sd has initialized will opera's icon be loaded; by then the only free position will be the last.
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
yes! I yet figured it out ... Is there any "fix" to this!? :P
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I suppose that if you move opera back to "internal memory" (remember, it's in fact the ext partition of the SD... ) you'll have the icon sty were it needs to be.

And that won't really change things in terms of space since it's on the SD, regardless.
[Nexus One Android Development] bunnahabhain:
Qick questions:

1. is the default kernel overclockable oder is it not?

Ist Wildmonks Kernel still the one to go for?

2. If i flash another kenel (Wildmonks/Intersectravens etc) do i have to apply the RAM-Script again?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
1 - Yes, the stock kernel is overclockable. I still prefer Wildmonk's for A2SD, though.

2 - What RAM script?
[Nexus One Android Development] bunnahabhain:
JUWES Ram-Optimisation Script -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111145

;)
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
Q1: Yes it is, but I find it unstable. Both Wildmonks and IR are rock-solid stable on my N1 when OC'd to max speed (WM 1152MHz and IR 1113MHz). My preferred governor for both kernels is smartass.

Q2: No idea as I use A2SD build.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
No need for it - I am already including the RAM optimization in my scripts. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] bunnahabhain:
Ok thanks, i was just asking cause i am not aware of the fact whether the RAM-script is a kernel related thing (a module or something) or just a script that runs besides the kernel...

I am no expert, just a flasher :D

thanks again

[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
Hi jbbandos,

For this new version, can I just wipe dalvik/cache and flash or should I do a full wipe?
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
Just what I need before taking off for a week long festive vacation :)

Really appreciate your continuous effort and kind sharing. BIG THANK YOU!!
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Just dalvik and cache. A full wipe is mandatory only if you're coming from another ROM, another variant, or from XPART before 1.8.12 to a recent XPART.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
You're welcome, enjoy your festivities!
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
finally before update to the last release I'm trying to convert my etx3 in an ext4. I did it simply via amonra and it says it was everything OK but how can I really check if now I have an ext4? o.O plus this operation didn't format my SD ... is it normal?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Yeah, it's perfectly normal that it didn't format your SD. It's just a change in the way the ext is accessed, not the data structure itself. Not like going from FAT to ext.

As for checking, the "easiest" way I see is by connecting your SD card (either through the phone, or in a card reader) to your computer and start a good partitions software, like minitool. It will show you what partitions you have, and how they're formated.

It might be possible as well in the recovery, but I don't feel like rebooting just to check, particularly since you'd probably have seen it it were there ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
You shouldn't need to convert your ext3 partition, as the A2SD scripts do the conversion to ext4 automatically,. Anyway, the conversion is non-destructive, as you found out. Even more non-destructive if your partition was already ext4... :)
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
ok! so I have only to update :) scripts work automatically without any intervention! right!?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Dunno... What with the A2SD script often not workin "automatically", it just might be safer to do the conversion manually... ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Sorry - I was confusing with the xpart scripts. The A2SD scripts don't touch the partition in any way.

As for formatting, aligning data structures, etc., did you check the second post on this thread? I've linked to a very useful guide on how to do it.
[Nexus One Android Development] timmae2:
where in settings is "MIUI Backup" ??? it isnt there since 1.8.26 :-(
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Seems like it is being moved to the backup tool. In the online backup tab you can now set the automatic backup settings.
[Nexus One Android Development] kornolio80:
Hi, maybe someone can help me... I think this ROM is by far the best MIUI ROM out there... but I'm having a little annoying problem since 1.8.19, every time I try to open an app it takes 2/3 secs to process my request, for example... I try to open MAPS, I press the MAPS icon... nothing happens and after 2/3 secs the app opens up.

This is happening with most applications I have installed, I tried a full wipe with no luck, what you guys recommend?

Thanks for your support!
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
we will need some more info. are you running a2sd? xpart? and a logcat would probably also help a lot.
[Nexus One Android Development] kornolio80:
Hi, thanks for the help, I'm using the A2SD one, since XPART caused some problems and I couldn't use it.

I'll get the logcat as soon as I can. thanks once again!

EDIT:

Oh... and I have another problem with this version with the "Photo" widget... I select a photo for it through the MIUI Gallery and when I press "done" is not changing it, I still have the default landscape. Anyone facing the same problem? It was not happening on 1.8.19 though.
