In a way, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem. I use that same WM kernel on CM7.1 with zero issues: ie. flash works reliably every time!

Hi Jose,

I know you're very busy man these days, but when you get a chance please test the flash on your N1. I reckon you'll find the same issue as us. I believe you're still using WM kernel, right?

I would hate to move from WM kernel just to run QND MIUI mod: It's always been rock-solid stable with zero issues. I know there're other alternatives....but still....

What other kernel do you guys use that has a call recording patch built-in?
[Nexus One Android Development] k3vink3vin:
Just FYI the MIUI Gallery share to Facebook bug is still here.

I have deleted Gallery.apk and pushed the attached Gallery3D.apk extracted from latest CM7 instead.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Yesterday I had the same problems with the flash and the WM kernel, for the first time. :( I tried using the SVS instead of the AVS variant, and it worked better, but there were still occasions where the flash didn't fire. Seems like it is time to ask WM if he can do anything about it, as with the default kernel the problem doesn't show up.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
You can also download gallery3d from the supermarket (unfortunately the name is in chinese, but you can guess which it is from the icon),

I would be tempted to say that MIUI is becoming unstable, but I remember the long time we had the reboot bug in the N1 camera, so it seems like MIUI beta is as unstable as ever...

I need to find some time to check the "stable" version.
[Nexus One Android Development] firoz3321:
I am sorry but can some one please confirm the MINIMUM requirements for the Latest XPART ROM ?

1. I have 4GB class 4 SD card, what are the Partitions required (is 600mb EXT3/4 enough) ?

2. i have 5.08.xx Radio , do i need to upgrade ?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
1 - 600MB should be enough; however, the card might give you problems, smaller (<16GB) cards sometimes are slower. Try it, and if you get FCs, give up and use A2SD.

2 - no need to upgrade, but I recommend 5.12.xx radio, gives better GPS and 3G performance.
[Nexus One Android Development] k3vink3vin:
I don't have trouble reading Chinese, it's just I don't trust Chinese supermarkets, judging from the ones in real life :p

In case anyone is having problems with the backup, here is a fix, kindly provided by XJ (it is his 1.11.6 OTA repackaged for our N1).
[Nexus One Android Development] petran07:
Hello

I have installed 1.10.23 XPART and I am happy how can I update the 1,11,4 without deleting all my files;
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Do a nandroid backup just to be sure, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, and flash 1.11.4 XPART. That should be enough.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I was having problems with backup... So I'm flashing it right now... Will report the results.

By the way, I was still having unwanted reboots when receiving SMS and doing something at the time (no problems if the phone was sleeping... ) I've (regretfully) deactivated the application control in the Super User app. Seems that it still causes more trouble than it avoids...

XJ's fix for the backup works just fine... Thanks to you two, guys!
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
Hi Jose,

I've tested latest WM, Pershoot & CM+ v0.3 and they all cause camera flash to fail intermittently. At least we now know that this bug is kernel related.

The stock QND MIUI kernel works perfectly fine but I'm not sure if the two-way call recording patch is built-in.
[Nexus One Android Development] RotasOpera:
Dumb question: are these fixes/patches already applied, or do I still have to apply them?

Photos from albums showing empty in gallery3d

Hi there,

just installed 1.11.4 from scratch (repartitioned the SD card and formatted everything) and found that my pictures from my google account are shown (all albums present, correct number of frames in each album) but they're all black!

I've tried deleting the data for the Gallery from the application manager but no luck... Any tips? happened before? :confused:

Thanks a lot!
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Well, time to bring this to the kernel developers, have you tried posting in Pershoot's and WM's threads?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
They are already applied, sorry if it isn't clear.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Seems like corrupted thumbnails. WHen you click on the photos, do they show properly? If so, locate the .cache and thumbnail dirs on the sd card and remove the old thumbnails.
[Nexus One Android Development] Obsy:
Waiting for 1.11.11 version... :D

Will be something specially? :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
As I still don't have adsl at home (after a month and half) it will probably be up only by Monday, so you still have some time to wait... :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Obsy:
It's not a problem... Take your time, I'll be waiting with pleasure ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] ivanxx:
No, the photo count in every album is correct, and I get all the frames inside each album, but they're empty. The photos I take with the camera do show OK, though. Oh!, and just learned that if I click on a (empty) thumbnail of a video, it will show! (only for videos, not photos)

I believe the albums and photo cache are stored in /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media/cache

I changed the name for that folder through adb shell and it was created again after closing and re-opening the Gallery app, but the problem persists... :eek:

Just deinstalled (with TBackup) and reinstalled the app from the SuperMarket, nothing changed... my photos are there, just can't see them :(
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Strange. Seems like I will have to install the gallery 3d to see how it behaves on my phone.

Can you still open the photos if you mount the sd card on your pc?
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Strange,

Mines showing okay in every thumbnail, and every count is right. If i lick on it it shows the pictures too

when you say "pictures from my google account", is that the same as photos in sd card?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Nexus One Android Development] ivanxx:
I think the Gallery is unable to populate the folders picasa-thumbs, local-album-cache et al. They are all empty. The album names and number of items seem to be stored in index files that I see having some size... maybe it's some permissions problem... from adb shell all those folders are d--rwxr-x (owner is system and group sdcard_r). If system needs to write there it will not work... And I don't seem to be able to chmod 775 them, chmod exits silently but no changes are made...
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Is that sdcard/picasa-thumbs?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Nexus One Android Development] ivanxx:
Yep, if you have albums in Picasa they're synced to the sdcard (or at least thumbnailed so you can browse and download the photos from picasa online).

All my albums from picasa are shown, the count of images is OK, but all thumbs are empty or black... mmmh, more interesting: I just tried to take a couple of snapshots like yours to show it and guess what? They're not saved in the MIUI folder of the sdcard... I think this must be permissions... :cool:

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media/cache/picasa-thumbs (and some others around there)...
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
No that path is already the cache of 3d gallery.

Where is the actual path of the pictures?

Screen capture that would be another issue, sdcard should be mounted read/write, anyways pictures first.

EDIT:

I was asking where the downloaded pictures are because you can do some checkings.

When you find out the actual path of the pictures of picasa, go to the folder using explorer then click on an image, open with 3d gallery, see if it displays.

It shows as thumbnail so theres no issue with .nomedia file being there.

Only that it displays but when you click it is empty. It might be the image format itself not supported or something.

But you have to find where the actual picasa images are first

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Nexus One Android Development] ivanxx:
Well, I have to say I'm not sure if the photos from Picasso albums get copied anywhere in the card. Maybe only the thumbnails are downloaded, hence no actual photo folder...
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
The coolris media you are saying is the cache of 3dgalley not picasa.

So when you fired up 3dgallery it scans the sdcard and phone for possible pictures then populates it.

Thats why you have that sdcard/android/.....coolris.... path.

Those are thumbnails of the pictures actually located in phone or sdcard

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Nexus One Android Development] ivanxx:
Yes, you are right, but if you have albums in picasa and you have syncing activated for picasa albums in your google account, they will show in Gallery (this is default behavior since N1 was released). I don't know if all the photos get synced or just the thumbs are and you download the actual photo from google when you click on the thumbnail... (I can't find a folder for picasa albums photos in the sdcard, so that makes me think you only store the thumbnails localy). The fact is all my Picasa albums get listed in Galery (as always), and they are supposed to contain a number of pictures (correctly listed also), but no thumbnails are generated.... :(
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Is that a picasa app?

The thumbnails might be in sdard/android/data/com.name of picasa app folder/

So i think this is what happening

You open up picasa,

Then it shows the pictures

Then it creates thumbnail images in

Sdcard/android/data/com.whatever picasa name

So that next time you open picasa you load faster too with preview

But these thumbnails are not the picasa images

Its only a small preview since the actual picasa is still online

These images are not downloaded, most apps wont do that without notice

When you click on the thumbnail, it opens up the actual image online

Now going back to the 3dgallery

When you fire it up

It loads the thumbnails

My thinking is, what format is these thumbnails thats why i ask you to look for it

Anyhows, it loads the thumbnails

Im guessing it search the sdard/android/data/com.whatever name is picasa app folder then loads those images

So it displays all the thumbnails

But when you click on it yes there would be no image

Because the actual picture ia in picasa online

That i believe is the story, it would be good if im on pc, lol

Try this. I've used OxygeN1zed kernel as a base and tried adding latest MSM camera driver. I've been taking pictures with auto-flash for the last 10 mins, and flash hasn't bugged out yet.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Thanks! I'll try it too. In fact, there is an easy way to check if you'll have flash problems - the flashlight will fail to start or take a long delay starting from the lock screen (pressing home) after the flashlight image is shown on the screen. I'll check if this kernel fixes that.

Hey guys, hope you can help me out with some A2SD stuff here.

On a fresh install of 1.11.4 I got 50Mb free space, even though I have over 1GB Ext3 part on my SD-card.

A2SD Gui-app FC on start, but I've done a2sd reinstall, which just gummed up the works. After a a2sd repair, my apps stored on SD reappaired, luckily :)

But what is missing here?
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
Hi guys. Last wm is pretty old ... do u still use it or would you recommend me another one? :) tnx ^^
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
yeah its kinda old but it still works perfectly for me. the latest one (that was updated last month or sth like that) also features smartass v2 sheduler which works really well. so far im still sticking with WM ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
A few questions so I can try to understand. Did you flash over a previous QND or over another ROM? What did you wipe before flashing (you should at least wipe cache and dalvik)? The 50MB are after restoring your apps?
[Nexus One Android Development] [-o']:
Thanks for replying!

Now I've avoided that, by making a 1.2GB ext4 partition and installed the XPART version. I've got tons of "internal" space, but encountered some other weird stuff. When moving icons and dropping them, the phone hangs for a second before the icon is dropped and I can continue using my phone. And when trying to access Sound & Vibration settings, it FC's on me and I can change anything. Tried wiping everything again (cache, dalvik, system and data) and reinstalling the XPART, but the problems are still there.
[Nexus One Android Development] [-o']:
That's the same error I had. Got tons of storage with the XPART version, but I experience it to be laggy. Got the Sound & Vibration settings to work after a hundred wipes and fresh install.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
That is the worst part - seems like your sd card isn't being mounted. At least the ext part.

If you try to browse the sd with the file explorer, does it show up? If so, please try 4Ext recovery. Install it, do a nandroid, backup your sd card to your pc, partition inside the recovery, then recover the data to your sd card fat partition, boot, and see if a2sd now works.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Sorry about all the trouble... Did you try aligning the SD partitions using the procedures I linked to in the first posts, or partitioning with 4Ext recovery? Should reduce the lag, at least a little.

BTW, I hope your SD card isn't a class 10, those have tons of problems with XPart. I wasn't able to use XPart until I got a Sandisk class 4 32GB (which thankfully cost me less on amazon.de than a 16GB no brand would cost locally).
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Noticed that. Each time I connect the phone to USB it asks whether to mount the SD. I've tried the a2sd operations with and without, and it didn't make any difference.

With the phone not on USB I can browse the SD card just fine with ES File Explorer, and taking pictures works just fine as well.

Another weird thing is Market isn't recognizing any of my apps which I restored with MIUI Backup. They all work just fine though...

4Ext Recovery Control seems to cost $2.61 in Market. What is it, and what good will it do?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
With the phone connected, and USB mounted, you shouldn't try the a2sd stuff. It will probably fail, as you saw.

As for the apps restored with MIUI Backup, either try app-brain market, which will scan your installed apps, or link the apps to the market using Titanium Backup's "Market doctor".

Finally, 4Ext can be installed with the free version of the recovery control app. The paid version adds a lot of functions to the app, but you can use the free one to install the recovery and then run most things inside the recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Thanks JB. I installed AppBrain, and it does recognize my apps, but Market still doesn't. Maybe you mean that I should switch entirely to AppBrain? Also AppBrain does not give the option to update apps.

The free version of 4Ext is not showing up in a Market or AppBrain search, but I do find it on 4Ext.net . I tried to install and try it, but I get Out Of Space.

Edit: This is interesting: I've just put the phone on USB and allowed USB mount. and only sdb2 (ext3) shows up. sdb1 (vfat) no longer shows since my last ROM install. When I mount sdb1 manually it works fine. Odd.

Edit2: I deinstalled Titanium to get 4Ext installed, but I guess I don't see the point. Recovery seems to be a backup app, not any sort of repair.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
4Ext and Titanium are completely different beasts. Titanium is a backup app, 4Ext is a recovery - something you use to flash ROMs, partition sd card, etc.

AppBrain will tell you to update when there is a new version, and will call the market to do the update. From then on the application should be linked to the market again.
[Nexus One Android Development] [-o']:
Thanks for replying!

I did use XPart, love that recovery, and it found my partition perfectly (1.2GB). But the MIUI lagged on operations, so I went back to A2SD and there I've only got 155mb free space, why ain't it using the sd-ext?

In A2SD-GUI it recognises my sd-ext, and Apps 2 SD is activated, but when I check in terminal and do a A2SD repair, it shows that it's not starting up at boot time.
[Nexus One Android Development] k3vink3vin:
I noticed similar problem with the A2SD version.

I fixed it by moving things back and forth, eg. to move dalvik cache to sd-ext I had to run A2SDGUI and set "dalvik cache on internal memory", then after it self-reboots, set it back to "dalvik cache on sd-ext".

I had to do this for everytime after I flash the rom, wiped or not.

Oh sometimes A2SDGUI refuses to move things to sd-ext, saying that sd-ext is running out of space when there is plenty. I had to run the a2sd commands manually via terminal or adb.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
MIUI ships with A2SD disabled. You need to run "a2sd repair" in a terminal before it works.
[Nexus One Android Development] [-o']:
Glad I'm not the only one! When I'm trying to move dalvik from sd to internal, it says "no more space left!". ARGH

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

It doesn't do much here. Still got 140Mb free space, after using both a2sd commands and gui :/
[Nexus One Android Development] k3vink3vin:
try the following commands (nandroid backup first!)

a2sd nocache

a2sd cachesd

a2sd nodata

a2sd datasd

the phone should reboot itself after each command is executed.

By the way, sometimes when I reboot my phone, it boot loops 2-3 times before it finally boots up.

last_kmsg here: http://pastebin.com/BUmRr6Xs

Could be a problem with WM's kernel I don't know :confused:

Someone:p advised WM's kernel is not stable with the recent MIUI builds, I tried a number of different kernels however they gave me FCs and reboots, so I still prefer WM's (using the 975mV-1300mV version as my phone doesn't like UV).

I use class4 sd card.. didn't had major issues, but now for like 3-4 past versions. everything seem to slow down. search, menus etc...

I dont know what the heck going with battery usage too...it lasts about 6hrs and thats it.. before - same apps and conditions used to be about 16-24hrs...

another issue the data connection... when rom updated the browser forwards to web2go tmobile site asking to purchase data plan... but after couple days ... data starts working magically and no more web2go pages...:)

This is just happening with the last 3 or 4 versions.. and i did full wipes but not resolved...

As for the browser, seems like the ad-blocking lists I am using are too extensive. I'll probably go back to a "lighter" set of block lists, I'll check during the week which lists will still block angry birds ads but still allow accessing normal sites.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
If you get lots of FCs, even after 5 full wipes and a re-install, then your card is not up to speed to run XPART. I know, I had one card like that until a couple of months ago. I'd get it running stable for a couple of days, then FCs out of nowhere. I finally gave up and went to A2SD. Only with the Sandisk I have now I can get XPART running stable.
[Nexus One Android Development] firoz3321:
OK i will try the A2SD version
[Nexus One Android Development] [-o']:
What is happening?

Now I've updated to 1.11.11 A2SD and I've got even less space than before. Went from 130Mb to 93Mb. It seems that A2SD won't start at boot, even after I do a 'a2sd repair'.

How do I get this working?

I've got a SDC2 16GB card.
[Nexus One Android Development] firoz3321:
Ok i installed a2sd version. No FC's now. But low internal space :(

Tried

a2sd repair

a2sd install

a2sd reinstall

For every command it tree does some text scroll for long time and reboots.

But no change in memory.

That's why i use d2ext but its not working on my mobile.

No, are you starting from a clean nexus (wiped data in recovery) or from a previously installed ROM?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Please post the output of "a2sd check". I'll see if I can reproduce your problem here. The strange thing is that I didn't change anything on the a2sd scripts that have worked well for a long time. Maybe MIUI devs changed something on these scripts?
[Nexus One Android Development] firoz3321:
Ok so did the "a2sd check".

Sorry, but how do i post the output here ? i am noob :(
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
The easiest way is to connect the N1 to a PC, access the terminal with "adb shell", and then do the a2sd check. Then you can copy it to your PC browser.

[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Ok, so A2SD is working for you. Unfortunately, as it doesn't move everything, your apps data still fills the internal partition. What you can still do is move dalvik cache, by running "a2sd cachesd". That should free some 60-80MB at least.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Was that with XPART? It will take a long time at the X part of the boot, formatting and checking the ext partitions. On a slow SD card this will be even more visible.
[Nexus One Android Development] lenrek:
Yes, XPART. I did not aware of this.

I will try again.
