1. Isnt there a way to copy the App DATA to EXT ?

2. I have used the MIUI-NX a2ext, it was running OK with my SD card. Is a2ext different from XPART.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

WOW, i was having 17mb Free.

Now after "a2sd cachesd" i have 124mb :eek:

But i read somewhere that sending cache to sd makes the mobile slow. :(

Thank you jbbandos
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
You can still send data to sdcard with "a2sd datasd", and move it back with "a2sd nodata".

I don't know how dRaCID001 implements a2ext, but it probably is different. I ended using (and adapting a little) Rodriguez xpart scripts as they were the fastest and most stable; unfortunately, some SD cards don't seem to handle well xpart.

As for sending cache to SD making the phone slow, it is indeed a little slower to have it on SD than on internal memory; however, in most cases you won't notice the difference. But you can try and see which is best for you, cachesd or datasd.

Ok resolved internet going to web2go subscription required page .. seems that somehow ROM had weird APN in the network settings.....

replaced with wap.voicestream.com user/pass blank...

Now need to investigate battery usage... cant just die after 5-6 hrs of no use..:)..

my phone is starting to lag a little so i thought i would do a fresh install with the next version.

i was gonna backup my apps BUT miui backup doesn't work. it starts but when i click on "backup" it just crashes. here is the pastebin of the crashreport:

http://pastebin.com/c2H9tPs3

any ideas?

on a completely unrelated sidenote. i just got a used N1 cardock off ebay for a mere 10€ :D really happy about that. been wanting that dock for quite some time ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I've used a2sd for the longest time before migrating rather recently to xpart... And 99% of my time with a2sd has been with the (dalvik) cache moved to SD. I've never noticed any slowdown or any difference between my phone with cache on SD and cache on internal...

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 PM ----------

Thanks for the car-dock mention... That's interesting at this price!

As for your problems with MiUI backup, well, I suppose you're really in dire need of a new fresh install.

I've tried it, and on my 1.11.11 XPart, I've done a backup with no problems, no FC, no nothing... smooth as baby face...
[Nexus One Android Development] lenrek:
It works! Waited more than 5 minutes.
[Nexus One Android Development] MaDInDy:
Now, I try CM+ v.5 with XPART 1.11.11

It seem stable than wildmonk kernel on my phone.

On wildmonk kernel have FC on Facebook and Twitter (Official App) in sometime but I fix this issue by reboot phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] DonDizzurp:
how do i set up a2sd?

when i install files it places them either on the internal storage or the .android_secure folder on my fat32 partition..

how can i actually make use of the sd-ext partition?

can someone give me step-by-step terminal commands or is there an app like simple2ext that i can use?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
:( just checked on mine, and I have the same problem with backup. I'm just leaving now, I'll see if I can find the cause later today.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Mmm... I just wiped, flashed 1.11.11 again, and you're right, backup works after a full wipe, while before it FC'ed like for pseudoheld. Looks like I need to clear my N1 too. Back to the nandroid, and to Titanium to backup all apps...
[Nexus One Android Development] lenrek:
For me is opposite. I find XPART version lag a lot. A2SD is better.

It could be due to the SD card I am using. :confused:

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

run 'a2sd check'. If the output shows is not using the sd-ext, run 'a2sd reinstall'.
[Nexus One Android Development] [-o']:
I want this aswell! The best was if it would work right out of the box, like XPART, but XPART is a bit laggy on phone with SDC2 card.
[Nexus One Android Development] DonDizzurp:
heres what i just did

repartitioned my card with 1gb sd-ext, rest is fat32

ext2 to ext3

ext3 to ext4

wipe everything 342342 times

install rom

install terminal

su

a2sd reinstall

(reboots)

su

a2sd zipalign

a2sd cachesd (or a2sd cachesdreset)

(reboots)

su

a2sd check

if there arent any [x]'s everything is fine (im not sure if this should be run before or after the reinstall)

but if there are [x]'s then you should run (as su)

a2sd repair

now still in terminal (make sure youre still su)

pm setInstallLocation 1

(0 = automatic, 1 = internal (sd-ext in this case), 2 = fat32 partition of sdcard)

so far it seems to be working..
[Nexus One Android Development] [-o']:
How much internal space does it show that you have afterwards?
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
yeah really glad about it aswell. kinda seldom you find some on ebay but when you do go for it. should be arriving tomorrow. anxious to see how it works with miui

ok this is bad. i will probably wait for the next qnd version and see if backup is working again. otherwise i will see how it goes with titanium. i just find miui backup much easier to use and it automatically relinks my apps with the market (which if i am not mistaken is only an option in the paid titanium version)
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
I guess it's a mystery why in Terminal on the phone, a2sd does not see my SD card, yet I can ls and see the filesystem, and the Camera can save pictures, CoPilot can find maps, etc.

Edit: Well, some improvement. I find that a2sd install actually moved my apps over to sdcard. I did it in the Terminal app in the phone, which is not recommended (from PC preferred), but it seemed to work. Also moving the cache and data over to SD worked. The following were my commands:

$ su

# a2sd check (shows SD card not available, for some reason)

# a2sd nocache

# a2sd cachesdreset

# a2sd nodata

# a2sd datasd

# a2sd reinstall

# a2sd zipalign

But, Market still does not recognize any apps I'd restored using MIUI Backup. And so it will not update them. Re-restoring them with Titanium doesn't help.
[Nexus One Android Development] DonDizzurp:
titanium backup shows i have

system 152mb (18 free.. i moved a few things into the system)

internal 205mb (179 free with a few apps)

sd card 15.5gb (13.5 free)

a2sd 960mb (818 free with a few apps)

so yea, its been working. after setting the pm setInstallLocation, it installs them onto the sd-ext partition where we want them to go... rather than internal or in .android_secure
[Nexus One Android Development] phazey12:
I was wondering if someone could help me with my problem. I've tried to install the A2SD variant of QND MIUI for a while but can't seem to get A2SD fully working. It seems that whenever I move dalvik cache to sd-ext or run a2sd cachesd and reboot, the device is stuck on the boot logo X screen. Is there a specific way to install A2SD on this rom? I tried a few of the methods above and none seem to work.
[Nexus One Android Development] phazey12:
Alright, I figured out a way to get past the problem. Seems like everything is working now with plenty of internal memory left. My procedure was:

wipe everything lots of times

partition SD card

install ROM

install Darktremor a2sd zip file

install kernel

boot into rom for first time

reboot once

a2sd check

a2sd zipalign

a2sd cachesd

a2sd check

and everything was good. hope these steps help someone...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
No need for the "a2sd repair"? Interesting, I used to do that as a first step after booting into the ROM, and after the reboot I'd do the zipalign and the cachesd.
[Nexus One Android Development] phazey12:
Yea, it seems like flashing the darktremor zip over the rom bypasses the need to repair or reinstall a2sd.
[Nexus One Android Development] ultra99:
Great rom as usual, but I have a problem. Lately, I've been experiencing a lag. I feel the lag when i try open or switch bt apps, opening contacts, etc. What could be the reason?

I don't think it's due to the sd card cause I've been using this version and previous with this sd card and no problems.

I'm using the latest xpart version.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I've noticed a lag too, after updating to 1.11.11. In the end, I just wiped, flashed again, and restored all apps, and the lag seems to have almost disappeared. Seems like the latest releases are a bit slower, but hopefully this will be fixed soon by the MIUI devs.
[Nexus One Android Development] timmoty_g:
what a relieved...I thought my sdcard was giving up on me!:)
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
just got my cardock and its not playing well with miui. (or should i say miui doesn't play well with it)

the cardock should have integrated speakers for handsfree talking (or if you want to even playing music)

this however doesn't work for me.

if i put the phone in the cardock and try playing some music NOTHING happens.

if i plug in headphones i get the music playing fine. pull them out...nothing.

hope this is MIUI fault and not a defective dock. will do a nandroid and try this out with CM and see if it works better...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
When you put the phone in the dock, does it launch the "car home" interface? It should be launched automatically, I think.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
yeah it launches carhom with no problems.

it then asks me to set what i want to use the dockspeakers for (calling and/or media)

doesn't seem to make any difference which one i pick.

i now managed to get calls via the inbuilt speaker (had to change that in the dialer app whilst making a call)

so just the media via dock isn't working (which i don't use anyhow)

next problem is that the dock has a dedicated volume rocker, which has NO effect what so ever in miui XD

this is bad because somehow the default volume for media whilst in dock seems to be set to the max so my car speakers actually get a distorted signal due to the loudness...

miui also doesn't support landscape in either caller/contacts/music which is a bummer because landscape is the main way you are gonna use a cardock...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
One thing I noticied with 1.11.11 is that it seems to have broken media audio over bluetooth. 1.11.4 and previous worked well with my car, but the only time I used it with 1.11.11 it would pair, but the sound would come out of the phone speaker and not the car audio. Switching to phone mode to make a call seemed to work, and notifications sounded on the car speakers, so apparently the problem was with the music application. Unfortunately I was in a hurry and couldn't test it more, so I don't know if it was a one time situation or is 1.11.11 that is broken.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
wow ok then lets hope this gets fixed in the next versions.

on a related sidenote:

are you thinking about cooking some ICS Rom? QND ICS sounds pretty tasty imho ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I don't have a machine that can build ICS, I think... My desktop is nearly 8 years old, and I don't think it would cope. And I still don't have ADSL at home - but at least the phone was connected today, so I'll probably have ADSL next week.

That said, I'd love to try. I'll possibly have to wait for someone to build a AOSP ICS ROM for our N1, and then customise it with my scripts, etc. I think that with the BlackRose HBOOT and XPART we can fit a full ICS ROM on our N1.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
awesome! looking forward to it!

what exactly does blackrose hboot do? never fully grasped that...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Among other stuff, allows us to repartition the internal memory. On my N1, I've reduced the cache partition to 5MB, and divided the space between data and system. There is also a Sense ROM that uses a 330MB system partition to fit all in...
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
Recently I noticed, using last wm kernel, that lags and stucks are pretty frequent! Is it because I only updated the rom without wipe all?

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Probably. I noticed similar lags before wiping and reinstalling 1.11.11.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
seems like the 1.11.11 release seems to be pretty buggy overall.

i also noticed a lack of speed which made me want to do a clean wipe with the next version of this.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Well, I guess it's more the N1 that requires frequent clean-ups than that specific release having problems.

I had clean wiped not too long ago (for some mid-october release, if memory serves) and 1.11.11 is working perfectly for me... WITH WM kernel: no lags, no freezes, no nothing... ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
aaand my annoying reboots seem to be back.

only a few months after having sent in my N1 for repairs the problems are back again.

Mostly in connections with calls.

today i recieved a call, but the screen wouldn't turn on, i then missed the call. got the screen turned on, tried to call, reboot.

really annoying. will have to send my phone in AGAIN and hope i get a replacement not just a fix.
[Nexus One Android Development] oldnewboy:
Just want to share my experience. Have been running the XPART version for about a week now with a quality class 10 card (Samsung 16 GB Extra Plus, the silver one) with not even a single FC.
[Nexus One Android Development] ultra99:
Hey jb,

I'm just wondering, will using blackrose hboot improve anything?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Depends... Since MIUI almost fills /system, reducing /cache to 5MB and dividing the freed space between /system and /data might help a little. And if you're running A2SD, adding space /data always helps... :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
1.11.18 released, seems like at least bluetooth audio is fixed.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
will be flashing it asap and report back how it is working with my cardock and if the backup app starts working again for me!

thanks jb!
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Coming from straight stock MIUI 1.10.070, do I need to do a full wipe or can I just wipe cache and flash over without issue?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
You can just wipe cache and dalvik if you're using A2SD, however I recommend a full wipe. Some of us have had lag a slowness with a couple the latest releases that were solved only by wiping and restoring backups.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
Backup is working again!

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] ultra99:
The

Stock Partition Layout is: 145mb System, 95mb Cache, 196mb Data

and

New Partition Layout (modified Blackrodse) is: 330mb System, 25mb Cache, 81mb Data.

Wouldn't 330mb be adequate and at the same time more free space that could prevent lag, hangs, FC's, etc?

And then XPART would take care of DATA space from sd? correct? no?
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
My miui music stop working any clues...did a complete wipe using docs method,wipe data,cache,and everything else in the book..

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Great news!
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I thought the same at the beginning, but then I remembered (and later confirmed) a very important issue. In order to increase speed, Rod's XPART script moves dalvik-cache back to the internal /data partition. So, if that one is smaller than +- 100MB, you're in trouble, as it will get full, and you'll get FCs like crazy until you reboot and wipe dalvik. So, don't do it - at least until I have the time to make the scripts more flexible and test /data partition size before moving dalvik. Of course, this might make the script slower, and will surely make the ROM slower...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
That is strange, but I remember on 1.11.11 I had to wipe Music's data to make it behave again.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
:( I can say that bluetooth is working perfectly, too bad about car dock.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
No, A2SD is deactivated by default, but after enabling it flashing a new version shouldn't break anything.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Whats with dictionary?

After flashing this, it wont auto correct anything.

Words with ' dont correct themselves like cant or its. Thue letter i doesnt capitalize. In general, nothing at all corrects itself.

Worked fine with old version.

Anyone get wifi calling on this rom?
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
same here here bro, been searching for a while but i gave up ,i didn't want to ask in another place cause the first thing they will say its only for cm7 add-on,so if some one has a work around i will appreciated if you shared it with us ..peace
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
What do you mean by wifi calling? Voip? I used to edit the framework to enable it over 3G (it is enabled by default over wifi), but now XJ does it so I only copy his when I include the multi-lang files.

I now use CSipSimple as it is more flexible (and it is also free) but to use voip without any add-in you just have to configure it.
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
Jb I was referring to Tmobile wifi apk,it doesn't work at all.....
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Sorry... I can't even test that one, as I'm in Europe.

How can i reinstall xpart?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I meant a full reinstall of the rom (with 5 full wipes, using the amon ra recovery, done before reinstalling the zip).
[Nexus One Android Development] DEADover:
Too many problems with XPART version for me :( After third clean install (wipe all 5x times and 5 reboots after) - it's stuck on the choice of Launcher...>reboot>the same (((

Installing A2SD version...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
:(

Sorry to hear that. I wonder what failed. What partitons did you have, only two or the four partitions? Did you check they were getting mounted?
[Nexus One Android Development] DEADover:
I have 4 partitions on my new 16Gb SD card (1. 13,9Gb fat32 2. 1Gb ext4 3. 256Mb ext4 4. 128Mb swap) - parted using GParted. And yes - i have checked that they were mounted, but...3 clean ROM reinstall is way too much. Almost the same with ROD MIUI ROM 3.6 :( A2SD is better for me. :/ And with A2SD the TB works fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
There shouldn't be many diferences between Rod's XPART and this. I wish I had more info on where to look to fix these problems, I need logs or something to understand what happens. One time (before I decided wiping and flashing again) I noticed the second partition had errors and had been remounted r/o, so I think I'll start checking the mount commands first.
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
I have been using MIUI- Xpart from MIUI-AU, Rod, QND and now NX with only 2 partitions, 1 Fat32 and 1 EXT3, they all worked and ran fine. You don't need the 4 partitions version.

Xpart is a little faster (when they worked), with over 1GB internal storage (the big +), but it's not worth your trouble after all (other than you have over 1 GB internal storage to look at or maybe a little faster speed). I am back to the basic and will stay with a2sd (I still had over 120 MB internal storage after 200+ apps installed, I am tired of formatting my sd every other day).
[Nexus One Android Development] hackermail:
I had the same problems with 4 partitions as the others have reported but switching to 2 partitions solved all the issues. Everything runs very smooth and stable.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Well, the first try I did with this ROM before uploading it was indeed with 2 partitions only, and it worked immediately. I then set out to see if it could be make to work with 4 (as it seems to be the recommended for faster speed, and I wanted to check everything before uploading), and had a lot of problems before getting it to work, so maybe the 2 partitions option is preferable for most people.
[Nexus One Android Development] DEADover:
Maybe the fourth reinstall? :D
[Nexus One Android Development] DEADover:
Is the TB works fine (without stuck on restoring) for you?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
If it still is giving you trouble, can you see if you have a /data/local/"something".log, and send it to me? That might help troubleshooting where these scripts are failing.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Yes, it works as well as (or as bad as) with A2SD, meaning I really need to verify all backups as soon as I make them and remake those that are corrupted.
[Nexus One Android Development] DEADover:
Sorry, but now I'm on A2SD version and for now all is almost perfect.

Maybe I reinstall the XPART version with 2 partitions later...and if i will have problems - i will send you logs.
[Nexus One Android Development] DEADover:
And again I :) Reinstall XPART with 3 partitions (fat32, ext4, swap) on SD and the "most complete wipe" - after second reboot the message appeared: "System UIDs Inconsistent. UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable." Arghhhh - said I. > One more reinstall and again after the second reboot that message. :confused:

No luck for me with anything other than stock MIUI A2SD :(

Update: maybe this can help you.
[Nexus One Android Development] MR_EVIL:
use this from rods thread....xpart is just buttery smooth...everything working fine..no problem at all.......

Partition No.1 = xx GB Fat32 (xx = whatever you want)

Partition No.2 = 1 GB EXT2/3/4 (Apps Partition)

Partition No.3 = 200 MB EXT3/4 >> 1/5 Size of Partition No.2 Minimum << ( if it´s EXT2 the D2SD Script will Format it to EXT3 )

Partition No.4 = 128 MB Linux Swap

enjoy guys........
