Hi, I also use swiftkey X, and I don't see that big a lag launching the keyboard. Of course, I only have about 2000 SMS, so that might help... :) In which situations do you see the lag, with any particular app?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Did you try running "a2sd repair" in a terminal app?
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
I would vote for removing supermarket and updater and leaving the genie.apk in your downsized rom :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I think I've read on the BlackRose thread that the exploit was working mostly for a specific rooting method.

I was wondering about using superoneclick to first "unroot" then "root" using this method ( zergrush I believe).

Does that sound reasonable (I mean, unrooting and re rooting with a QND rom on board ? Maybe I should just "root using zergrush" even if I'm already rooted (I believe that was "universal androot" I did use, before the arrival of Froyo... )
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
The QND ROM is already rooted, as all MIUI ROM are. The method you used shouldn't change anything, The exploit used by Blackrose should be independent of having your phone rooted or not.

Let me see if I can explain; Blackrose acts on a level where your ROM isn't even loaded yet. When you turn it on, our N1 loads a first level system (the bootloader), which in turn will load the recovery or the ROM. This bootloader shows the menu you see if you boot your N1 with volume down pressed. What Blackrose does is it boots a exploited bootloader, which then will allow flashing a hboot (bootloader image, partitions, etc.) that hasn't been signed by Google/HTC. Even this flashed bootloader can be reverted back to stock, leaving your N1 back as it was originally.

What is still impossible to flash is an unsigned radio, but hopefully that won't be needed any time soon...
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
That's more or less what I had understood. However, in order to root, one needs to be able to replace the recovery and do that through an exploit of the bootloader or unlock the bootloader.

I was thinking that maybe that specific exploit modified something and was the cause of my inability to install BlackRose (whatever I try, "locked" or "unlocked" I just stay with my 0.35.0017 hboot... ).

I'm starting to be a bit desperate, now, as everyone seem to manage getting BlackRose to install but me! And I don't see what's different in my setup.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Look up the N1/Desire windows drivers, you need to install them. As they are not signed, windows will make a fuss, but you can force them to install.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
No, no, that's no longer a problem... I've taken hold of my parents' computer, and the drivers (the good ones, fromthe blackrose OP) work, just as BlackRose. It runs, that is, and recognises correctly my phone, but doesn't change my bootloader, neither using "locked" nor "unlocked"...

Well, I'll try again on their PC, and if nothing happens, will try a "re-root" using zergrush exploit, as it's mentioned on the blackrose thread to be a sort of prerequisite...

EDIT

Hallelujah !! After updating my busybox (just a hunch I got suddenly), I've retried (on my parents' PC) and managed to get BlackRose to install on the bloody N1!!!)

I'll proceed to getting a different partition and flash the Odexed version. I'll report then (or before if any problem arise ;) )
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
Haha finally :D

Good job mate! Hope all goes smooth from now on!
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Thanks mate!

I've got the Odexed 1.12.16 up and running and I'm in the process of restoring my stuff... (thanks MiUI backup and Titanium Backup!!)

Just wondering, is there really any need to run in adb the stuff from the post you linked a few pages back, JB? ( this one, that is)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
So.... I've got the odex version running, but I don't feel like there's a very big difference with the non-odex version I had before...

And it took me 2 minutes to boot last time...

Maybe I've done something wrong (I didn't do anything with the odex package in adb... )
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Still crashing after install of the new market. Cleared all caches. Do I have to do another factory reset and start over?

Edit: Bfff starting over...
[Nexus One Android Development] kikixx:
Actually since I formatted and reinstalled I've not had the lag. It used to be on the search box (I know it doesn't auto pop up keyboard when pressed) and sometimes in messaging app. Not a problem now though. Since installing odex don't have lag when turning on the screen now either. It's all working great here actually, after a bit of trouble with titanium backup and miui backup.

Still can't work out how to use the sd-ext for cache, 4ext keeps telling me it isn't formatted even after running format. Not a big deal though.

Keep up the good work!
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
No need, I posted that as an alternative/attempt at debugging the problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Great, thanks!

By the way, I'm not too convinced by the NeoK ultimate kernel yet... It's very smooth but not that much more than what I had with the CM+ yet the battery consumption seems quite large... I'll give it one or two days to settle and will report more completely.
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
Wow finally I install blackrose,it took me a while to figure it out but I did it,I install busybox,and it work,but the funny thing is that on my vista it wouldn't work,so i try it on my girls XP laptop and it work, I install the odex version and it's working fine,but I still don't see a big different and I have it setup like 220,15,201 m I missing out something????
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
Thanks Franc38,after I updated my busybox it work fine..
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
It doesn't make that big a difference in terms of running (a bit, because of optimal use of the memory and less time spent for starting things). Where it really makes a change is in the time spent booting and the starting of apps. Running is similar.

And that's all "at the margins".
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Hi guys, I've just uploaded 1.12.23. I gave up on cutting stuff from system for the odexed version, looks like the translations add a lot to the size of the apks. So, if you want the odexed version, you'll have to go with blackrose and a custom hboot - I recommend 220MB system, 15MB cache.

Merry Christmas!
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Ah... Great of you, JB!!

I hope it works with my 210 MB system, 16 MB cache... Anyway, thanks for giving us our "weekly dose of flashable goodness" even on this special day...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
:)

Should work, the odexed version is taking +- 151MB system, so I suggested 220 only to make sure there is enough "breathing space".

Have fun!
[Nexus One Android Development] nafeasonto:
How do u make a custom hboot

I have blackrose
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Does work with no problems at all... thanks!!

And as it settles, the NeoK kernell seems more and more OK as battery saving goes... And it's still really quite smooth overall!

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Simple enough...

connect in USB, run BReditor, give the size you want for the System, the swap and data (I went for 210/16/210, most choose 220/15/201 or something close to have a lot of room for big roms. Anyway, it's a partition of the 446 MB available).

That generates a custom hboot that you then flash using Blackrose.

You'll see it done here:

Thank you sir.
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
Mr. J ... since u are a 3 user ... did u experienced some signal loss since a few days? I hope it's not a ROM problem (I simply updated them since a couple of releases) :/

edit: another question. If I setup blackrose, can I still use the deodex version normally!?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I've experienced signal loss at least since the summer. But not only me - a friend with an iphone, my wife with a blade running CM7.1, everyone. Seems like their network is completely overloaded. I'd switch to wind right now if they had a decent data plan like the 3G/month I have now with 3.

And as for your second question, yes, no problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] bunnahabhain:
JB do you know what these guys are talking about?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20741366&postcount=4

I am experiencing some laggyness these days that was not present in ROMS at the end of summer. Did you already tweaked the mentioned file?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I'll check that build.prop, but if it is what I think, I've added that optimization to build.prop some time ago.

hi everyone i just have to ask something, i saved some photos on the internal memory because, that day, i forgot my sdcard at home and i have to take photos, so it went to the internal memory..

PS: the camera i've used is the default camera in this rom..
[Nexus One Android Development] kikixx:
Any recommendations for flashing the latest odex? Clear dalvik, wipe fully, or just flash over the top?

Cheers,
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
As long long as you have blackrose just wipe cache and dalvik and just flash over top.

I do a complete wipe and clean instal about every five updates or so.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
If you previously had a deodexed ROM, wipe fully. Just to be sure. If upgrading from the previous odex, just wipe odex and cache.
[Nexus One Android Development] kikixx:
Thanks, all done and upgraded with no issues.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Seems like almost nobody noticed I released 1.12.30 on the 31st as I didn't have the time to write a reply here... :) Anyway, that was in part my "happy new year" gift to everyone, and I hope you had a nice party!

[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
I still have apps hanging with the usual "kill" or "wait" message ... I think it's a kernel problem ... ! I'm using the last IR ... what about u?
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
Thanks JB for another release! It's a pleasure to be running your ROM with its constant updates and friendly thread! Great job!

Odex works great i'm running it atm. BUT you will have to install blackrose custom hboot. with blackrose you can resize the partitioning of the nexus, thus giving it more room for the operating system. check the blackrose thread here. it's not that tricky to do but if you run into problems feel free to post here seen as me and franc had to muck around quite a bit to get it running aswell.

[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Just to add to pseudoheld's explanation, you'll need at least 160MB for the system partition. My partition layout now is 220-15-201, most people with blackrose are using something similar.

tnx it works very well! ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:

I, indeed, didn't notice.

Way to start a new year! Thanks JB, you're the man!

Flashing the odexed Xpart version right now! (will be my first time with the new 4ext Touch recovery!)

And happy new year to you guys!
[Nexus One Android Development] gmadajczak:
Happy New Year for All QND MIUI users!

I just installed 1.12.30 XPART odex. I see, that BlackRose hboot going to be the standard bootloader for N1 with custom ROM...

Everything works fine with new ROM.

just trying the a2sd version, it's awesome !

just a couple of questions: is it possible to sort the apps in alphabetic order in the screens?

How can I update to new weekly version without loosing the layout and A2ext settings? just flashing over the old one without wipes?
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
in recovery wipe dalvik and cache. thats all. then you can go ahead and flash the latest version on top and not loose anything.

as for sorting on the miui launcher i have no idea. i use go-launcher because i just don't like miui iphone'esque launcher.
[Nexus One Android Development] pgr1979:
thank you, I will try!

LOL ->
[Nexus One Android Development] pgr1979:
there should be something wrong, after update to last version, first boot and following everything force close, I am unable to open any apps or settings menu.

Probably have I to setup app2ext again?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I had that one day. When I checked with adb shell, I found out that the sd-ext partition was being mounted r/o. I only could fix it by shutting down, booting into the recovery, and forcing a filesystem check there. I have no idea why it happened, and I tried to force the filesystem check at boot in the xpart script, but that should already be happening, it is set to do a check if there is any error.

So what I propose is that you try shutting down, then checking the sd-ext partition. If that isn't enough, reformat the partition and re-install your apps... :(
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
You cannot really sort the apps on the desktop screen...

However in the folders you can. So my approach is put every app not too frequently used (the others are on the desktop, combining with widgets) in a folder (or in two or three, corresponding to type of app, like games, gps related, media related, etc) and then set the corresponding folder sorting to alphabetical.

The way to set the options for a folder is: open it, and tap on the icon top-left most. Here you can select how things are sorted and the name of the folder.
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
you can try 360 Launcher which is basically a MIUI Launcher + ! Ok it has the drawer but I think that it's useful 'cause some apps sometimes u don't know where to put them and so u create a garbage folder to collect them ... so a drawer is a more elegant solution :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Quick status update:

Downloading the original ROM from China took ages, but the reason there is still no release is that I am waiting for one of the 4way or the volume+4way mod to be released. If there is nothing new tomorrow I'll release the ROM without the 4way reboot menu.
[Nexus One Android Development] bunnahabhain:

1. any ETA for next version?

2. is gpu-rendered UI active in built.prop or is it not?

[Nexus One Android Development] bunnahabhain:
Got another question jb, as you are obviously more into MIUI stuff than i am.

Is the gingerbread version of MIUI now in final status? And when will the development of the ROM be dicontinued as it was with froyo last year? Any present rumors regarding that?
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
as far as i know the only phone with a working ics miui is the nexus s.

on most other phones, including the n1 hardware acceleration is not yet supported. (kernel problems) so it still might take a while till we see a fully working ics version on n1.

the cm9 roms are pretty good already but you do notice the missing hardware acceleration.
[Nexus One Android Development] pgr1979:
thanks for your reply. do you have the market link ? I can find only a theme for go launcher, is it the correct one?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Nope, that ain't the 360 Launcher...

It seems no longer to be available (if it ever was) on the market... You can get it from here on xda, however...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
There are some hacks to get the gingerbread acceleration libraries working on ICS, but still not fully functional, from what I understood. But maybe the MIUI devs have a better relationship with Qualcomm and manage to get the drivers from them...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Finally, here is 2.1.6. I gave up waiting for the 4-way reboot mod, so it isn't included... :(

[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Right now I haven't installed any kernel, and haven't had any hangs. Will see how it goes.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Well, seems again a case of not wiped correctly/needs to be fully wiped from time to time.

I've flashed latest xpart/odex version (with kgpneok 3.9 kernel) and I must say everything runs smooths as baby's ass, no FCs, no lags, really pleasure.

I was a bit afraid to flash that latest rom what with all those problems reports but nope, it's not the rom's problem.

Guys, MiUI on the N1 really seems to be a case of "every 5 or 6 rom flashes you need a factory wipe and clean install". If you do that, it's good and smooth. If not you may have FCs, and some problems in the menus (mostly the sound menu, for whatever reason).

And given that with Titanium and MiUI backup restoring everything is a breeze and takes, what, no more than 20 minutes tops, that really something we should stick to.

Kudos to you for the great work, JB!
[Nexus One Android Development] Androidity3000:
omg wow this is stable and nice. i love the a2sd integration as well. you don't see apps2sd dedicated space rather it is completely integrated to the internal memory.
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
Quick question,

I did a factory wipe clean install of the latest ROM and am still getting occasional FCs and mostly happening after making or receiving a phone call. It is a new SD card which I had a couple of ROM updates ago. Is there anything else I can do before reformating the card and starting over? If I have to reformat the SD card, is it necessary to format it using windows i.e. removing the card from the phone or suffice to format it using recovery?

Thank you for any pointer.
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
Ok I use to have the same issues, did you format the system too,?,this is my step full wipe,clear cache,clear dalvik,3times then don't forget to format the system too and sometimes I format the boot just in case ,give it a try,are you in 4ext or 3ext?make sure your in 4ext...
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
Thank you bro, I forgot about formatting system and boot after factory wiping. The N1 needs that refreshing every 4-5 flashing cycle as mentioned by Franc38. Yes I have 4ext partition and using 4ext recovery too :)
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
Your welcome,that's why were here to help each other..
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Hi guys,

That is also what I end up doing, full wipe including system every 5-6 versions. I think the MIUI devs are changing internal structures frequently, and that messes things up. But it is a beta...

I just wish they would release the source as was promised once, but that seems even more unlikely after the xaomi phone was released. With the source we would have better chances to find out and fix those FCs.
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
I think I found the culprit! The MIUI backup is breaking some code after restore.

Even though I did factory wipe 3X and format system and boot, installed the update and the Kgp700 kernel, I was still getting strings of FCs after restoring with MIUI. So I did another cache and dalvik wipe after restoring from MIUI and reinstall the rom + kernel and boot up!

Walla so far so good, everything is smooth and snappy. Got a call and there is still no FC. Thought I should share this.

I wish to note that the Kgp Neok kernel is smooth and snappy with equivalent battery performance. The GPS lock is also quite fast. Overall I am happy with this kernel. I am running the ROM at 245-1190 MHz scaling with Ondemand governor!
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Well, I already knew (and I think I posted here) that MIUI backup broke Titanium Backup. Now it seems it breaks even more stuff... :(

Restating what I do after a full wipe and flashing the new ROM, I install TB and restore all my apps there. I also restore accounts, but that is risky and has already given me problems in the past.

The only thing I restore with MIUI Backup is the desktop layout.
