It seems there is no release from MIUI this week, so no new ROM here.

In the mean time, I started looking at the ICS ROMS (in this case the miui.us 2.3.30) and had a bad surprise - after trying it, any GB MIUI (even the original Chinese one) will reboot my N1 as soon as the desktop loads. Sometimes it lasts, but reboot as soon as I try to use the camera. This and the fact that the last messages in logcat when it spontaneously reboots are camera related make me think that the ICS camera HAL is putting my camera in some strange mode that then forces the reboots when I use the GB camera HAL.

Either I find how to fix this, or I am condemned to use ICS MIUI on my phone, so I'd better start trying to understand how people have been implementing it - which kernel, from which device should I get the apks and jars, etc.
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
you mean you are condamned to use GB MIUI ... :D
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
ICS MIUI, you mean. GB reboots... :(
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
ah...so you are ... stuck with ICS !? damn..
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
oh oh... thats bad news for us. hope u sort it out soon. good luck JB
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
The last update for our Nexus One from MIUI was so buggy that they decided not to send it out.

Now they have decided to not keep giving out weekly updates. From now on, they will only dish out updates if it can make it more stable.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
2.3.30 seems stable enough, so we have a ROM that will keep working for some time. In the meantime, I'll have to learn how to cook ICS MIUI ROMs - which means deciding which device I'll use as the selected MIUI variant, choosing a kernel or finally learning how to build my own, etc.

Even the translations will probably need extra work.
[Nexus One Android Development] MoeNeXus:
I have tried several previous versions of ICS MIUI and they're smooth enough. Even, imo, one of those version was the smoothest ICS rom at that time.

[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I know what you mean... This thing freezes and is slow, at least compared to "our" ROM. I need to see what I can do to speed it up... :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Yeah, I did try a few ICS miui and I reverted to QND...

All of the ICS I tried had the same problem: not as smooth as QND and having A2SD+ instead of XPart, which is far less comfortable...
[Nexus One Android Development] kickr:
Can someone upload the rom (a2sd) on mediafire or something else? Minus is the hell slow for me :(
[Nexus One Android Development] ko0l:
Arrg, same thing happened to me, thought my phone finally died and just got a htc one x:). Would be nice to have it fixed.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Try installing the Evervolv ICS ROM, it seems to have solved it for me. I installed yesterday as I am trying to see how to do a MIUI port, and after tried going back to MIUI GB and it has been working, even after a few reboots to do nandroids, wipe cache, etc.
[Nexus One Android Development] MoeNeXus:
Go for it, jbbandos. Make ICS rom as fast and clean as QND. :)

Afaik miui ICS has same a2sd script with texasice.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I'm uploading it now, hopefully in 30-40 minutes will be done.

Sorry for the delay, mediafire is really slow for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] kickr:
Sounds great - any news? :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
It failed after 45 minutes claiming a timeout or something. The second upload attempt has finished, but it is "verifying" for the last half hour, at least. Seems like it is going to take some more time...
[Nexus One Android Development] kickr:
So...still verifying? :/
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
After another try it is now online. The folder is here - http://www.mediafire.com/?jmc63887p9b3x
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
My cousin has been using the 'official' from miuiandroid and I wanted to know can he flash this straight or if anything extra needs to be done?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
If you're switching ROMs, always do a full wipe. And if you want to try the xpart odexed, you need blackrose and to set your partitions to 220-15-210 or something similar.
[Nexus One Android Development] pippozio:
hey jbbandos, I'm using the odexed rom right now, is there a way to odex the new gmail apk? i received the upgrade notification but it keeps failing when trying to install it..
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
Will do a full wipe. What is xpart and whats the benefits? Can you point me to the balckrose application?
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
blackrose is custom hboot or bootloader that allows you partition /system. do more reading before applying blackrose. u can find it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1270589
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
ok will read it up later,

Currenty downloadin this QND-MIUI-MULTI-A2SD-2.3.30.zip

Will it work because he has no a2sd partition setup.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I don't think the problem is being odexed, it is that it doesn't like something in my build.prop. What I did to get it working (you'll need the sdk, or at least adb):

1 - get the attached gmail.apk

2 - connect your nexus to your pc

3 - do the next commands on a terminal(on windows, replace "adb" with "adb.exe", I am using linux), on the directory to where you saved gmail.apk:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Gmail.*
adb push Gmail.apk /system/app
adb shell pm install -r /system/app/Gmail.apk

The last command might not be needed.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
It will work, a2sd is disabled by default on MIUI ROMs.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
it works perfectly. sd ext partition is optional only. am using the same without ext partition :)

edit: JB beat me :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
So is it worth going for blackrose, does i make it faster? And is there a chance of bricking?
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
blackrose doesnt make ur fone faster. its a custom bootloader which allows you to alter hboot partition. ie u can distribute the unused /cache partition(90mb) to /system and /data

so it means u get more space for /data and hence all(most) of ur apps will be in internal memory which speeds up your fone :D
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
Rom still has some chinese and also smart dialer doesnt work properly so gone to miui 2.2.30

Spoke to my cousin and he wants to do this. Is it really simple as in the video? Whats the probabilty of brick?

Phone is s-on

hboot 0.35.0017

radio 5-12.00.00

Edit: I did it and chose system 220 and cache 16

now on miui fresh install, in about menu it shows internal memory:

200mb total

available 161

Is this correct? Shouldnt there be more space?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Depends on the ROM variant you installed. If you installed XPART and have a supported uSD (class 4 or 6) it will show as internal memory the whole sd-ext partition.

You have a uSD with a second (sd-ext) partition, right?
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
Installed standard miui from miuiandroid

Is it worth going for xpart?

uSD? I dont think it has ext partition as its formatted normally.
[Nexus One Android Development] Closed Source Project:
XPART is very good at what it does. It mounts the EXT partition (that you created) on your SD as internal memory on your device. With this system, you will not get "out of memory" errors when the EXT partition is only half way full (these errors happen with other scripts, such as S2E(CM7 only), MIUI's default A2SD+, and DarkTremor). If you have an EXT partition and a card that is at least a Class 4, go for XPART, hands down. (PS: XPART is the best feature of this ROM in my opinion :D ).

You can create an EXT partition from your recovery. I know AmonRa, Clockwork, and 4EXT recoveries have this option. It will erase all data on your SD card so back up the files on your PC. It is recommended to use the EXT 4 layout, not 2 or 3.

[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
After a screen fiasco with my new Galaxy Note, I'm back to my old trusty N1. I flashed the latest QND MIUI and Wildmonk's kernel. As usual, it's very smooth and stable. You're still the best Jose!

Is Wildmonk's still the best kernel for this ROM?
[Nexus One Android Development] cpm:
Which particilar wildmonks kernel did you flash?

Also is Tiamat kernel compatable?

Which one is most stable with best battery life, without sacrificing smoothness? :D
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
I've flashed (file name) 2.6.38.8_AVS-950mv_CFS_AXI_720P_1152MHz_091711_CM7.zip
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
yes tiamat is compatible but for battery life and smoothness i would suggest 2.6.38.8 KGPNeok - v3.9Ti kernel. i am using it for a week and its really smooth :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Thanks, unfortunately following that guide doesn't seem to be enough, as it won't boot. I am looking into it...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Nice to have you back!

I've been using the stock kernel for some time, haven't had the time to investigate other kernels.
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
The latest QND XPART ROM has been very stable so far. However, I've noticed the following issues:

- Chinese characters are still present eg. in Google Calendar and default browser

- Built-in clock causes a FC when adding a new alarm. The alarm still shows up when clock app is restarted. I've replaced it with Alarm clock xtreme (from the market) to avoid this issue.

- Missing numbers on default alphabet keyboard (3, 6, 7, 8 & 9)

- Purchased apps don't show in the Google Play app, only installed apps
[Nexus One Android Development] cpm:
Theres a few more places with chinese.

Loock sceeen

Radio

Side kick?

Some other app im not what it is.

Is there a language pack that can be updated?
[Nexus One Android Development] cpm:
One more app I just came across in Chinese

Data Monitor
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
What language are you using? The English translations in 2.3.30 and 2.3.23 were more incomplete than on previous versions, as I had reverted to the MIUI provided ones for English, to try to track an elusive bug.

As for purchased apps, they show on mine. No idea why won't show on yours.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
In the Italian version? Strange, I had updated the Italian translations. If there is a new MIUI release, or if I have time to rework this one during next week, I'll look into it.
[Nexus One Android Development] cpm:
Was happening in English for me. I usually set "Select language" to "English (Ireland)".
[Nexus One Android Development] cpm:
If I install 2.3.30 from miuiandroid then all mentioned apps are now in English. Also I get a feeling that the language dictionary /spell checker is somehow more complete. Again I have Language set to 'English (Ireland)'.

Maybe this might help?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Means I need to get the translation from miuiandroid. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] oktavianno:
2.3.30 odex has a dead link bro :(
[Nexus One Android Development] MoeNeXus:
It works. Try to redownload....
[Nexus One Android Development] cpm:
That would be super cool :D
[Nexus One Android Development] blackcell1:
also the task manager is in Chinese on the English langue version
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
one question jb, what if they decide not to update the nexus one,what's your plan b...thanks bro I'm following you...:D

Set from my Nexus One using XDA
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
My plan B is what I am following now - try to do an ICS port. If I fail, I'll have to base my work on MIUI.us probably, and do some mods on top of their work, to add multi-language, xpart, and my tunings.

Even if I could afford another phone right now, playing with the N1 is still fun, so I'll keep doing ROMs for it.
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
nice,nice to hear that, this phone va pa mi hijo,and I probably get a new phone on September,when my contract ends with Tmobile...:D
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
dats gr8 to hear JB. you rock man :D

When I try to update Gmail I get an error message. Please see the attachment or this link.

I've uninstalled gmail through Titanium backup and then tried installing it, however I still get an error.

Has anyone had problems updating Gmail on QND MIUI ROM?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Yes, I documented it a few pages back. You can see the workaround on this post.
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
or try the other way I did it,uninstall it using titanium,download the gmail.apk from above ,copy or move it to system/app/,using root explore,set the permission like the other app in system/app,reboot phone,go to market and install gmail,it works for me, instead of using the PC when I'm not at home...
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
Thanks for your response Jose. gmail.apk file from that link is only 554 bytes. When I view it in a text editor it says

"404 Page Not Found

The page you requested was not found."

Can you please re-upload that file? Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try that once I get hold of gmail.apk file
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Here it is, lets hope it will last a little more... :p

Edit: I've now uploaded it to the 2.3.30 minus folder...
[Nexus One Android Development] oktavianno:
The File still doesnt exist on minus, i love to try this rom but where i can download it :(
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
refresh the browser and see if it works. it usually works for me :)
[Nexus One Android Development] oktavianno:
thanks , i'll try
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
I've tried refreshing the page and also tried another browser, but can't get the file (it's only 554 bytes). Can you please upload the file to a more reliable server?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] walliester:
check your inbox bro.....
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I've uploaded to minus, to the same folder where the 2.3.30 ROMs are. I am also seeing the corrupted file only here. I have no idea why.
[Nexus One Android Development] oktavianno:
Please PM me the link :(

Still can't download your ROM
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
JB how is the MIUI4 project going? :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I've just checked the 2.3.30 folder (http://min.us/ms1lzHe2l) and everything seems ok. Are you getting an error, or what?
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
Finally, I've got the gmail.apk file. Thanks Jose.
[Nexus One Android Development] tanclo:
I must be doing something wrong because mine still "stops unexpectedly. I do not get the same error that ocujos posted here . Mine says

[The application Gmail (process com.google.android.gm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.] with Buttons to "Force Close" or "Report to MIUI".

I used the root explorer method though..

I also did fix permissions using rom manager .. ideas?

P.S. I tried to setup the Email (IMAP) app in the meantime but I get the same thing
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Since I am not having any luck with the ICS port (not enough time to work on it properly) I am thinking of remaking/updating the 2.3.30 GB release. I'll put the updated Gmail apk in it, hopefully it will fix the problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] dyun_14:
that would be great! If possible, can you also change the language of the task switcher?

thank yoy for this:)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
That is the idea, I'll try to re-integrate the missing English translations and fix Gmail.
[Nexus One Android Development] timmae2:
can you check clock app too? If I set a time I get a FC
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
Are you giving up completely on an ICS port for the N1?

Great news on you working on a new GB update :) If you hv not noticed, the Data Monitor App is almost completely in Chinese :)
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
+1 When I get an FC, I will delete the alarm and set a new one.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I haven't given up yet, but I haven't progressed that much, so maybe it is better to fix what I can fix in the GB release as it will take some time for me to get a MIUI port that I like.

I'll check if that is also because of the translation or a bug left in the clock...
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
kudos JB. pls dont give up. take ur own time and bring it wen u r ready.

QND MIUI ICS will be really awesome :)

wish u gud luck :thumbup:
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
Good to hear you haven't abandoned your plans for MIUI ICS ROM. You've always made first-class ROMs so there is no doubt in my mind that when it does come out, it will be an outstanding ROM.

Just wondering if you're considered using MIUI.us 4.0.4 - 2.4.6 Ice Cream Sandwiched as a base for your new ROM?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I did, but they have changed a lot from the original MIUI and from Evervolve, and I prefer to make minimal changes and stay close to the originals.

Anyway, I've asked the dev for help but got no reply, so I am looking elsewhere on my free time.
[Nexus One Android Development] arunciks:
XPART Odexed... last version:D

Kinda lots of issues.. :)..

Don't really complain about incomplete translations.. :)

FCs with different apps... system very slow... Noticed that Maps causes random reboots almost every time when in navigate mode... and happens randomly...

Another thing I noticed.. I think it was happening in previous versions too - is that if device is unplugged from power/charging and hit power button to wake up the lock screen... often causes device to freeze..(showing as still charging with led on but unresponsive, need to take battery out). It doesn't happen if unpluged and give couple seconds for led to go off and then wake device to unlock.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Ouch... What uSD card do you have? Could it be a class 10, by any chance? If it is, I recommend you to stay with A2SD.

If it isn't a class 10, but instead a class 4 or 6, then can you try backing it up and repartitioning it with 4ext recovery? It should align your partitions and reduce latency-related problems.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
hi. hw to activate sd ext? i am using a2sd variant.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Open a terminal (or use adb shell from a connected pc), then type the following commands:

su
a2sd zipalign
a2sd repair

The phone should reboot, and have a2sd enabled after booting.

You can also move dalvik cache to sd, the easiest way is using the a2sd gui tool.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
thanx JB. that solved my low memory problem. moved app n cache to sd ext and nw hv 120 mb free internal memory :D

one more doubt.

1. what shd i do if i need to deactivate a2sd and keep everything in internal?

2. what shd i do if i need to install some other a2sd like m2sd or ad2sdx.

jus for information :)
[Nexus One Android Development] arunciks:
thanks.. :)

thankss.. :) I kinda suspecting SD.. :) so no bad feelings against u... :) maybe im just a cry baby..

You doing great job by still supporting this N1 rom..:)....

Its an old class 4 card...If i do partition alignment check with 4ext it complains that 2nd ext partition isn't perfectly aligned... :):eek:
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
For both cases, I'm afraid your only option is to backup, wipe, and reinstall...
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
oops. dat would be a big task then .

one more question. may sound a bit silly though.

nw that i hv app n dalvik on ext, wat happens if the ext or sd gets corrupted? will i be able to retain those apps after repairing it???

also hw do i disable a2sd (just in case)...so far happy wid buitin a2sd though.

sry. 1st time with sd ext...

EDIT: jus nw realised that it was DT s a2sd. went thru that thread and got some info :D
[Nexus One Android Development] arunciks:
seems taht repartitioning.... solved issues.. so far didnt have chance for more testing but stuff is working fast with no lags..:):p:o
[Nexus One Android Development] Closed Source Project:
Do you plan on continuing to update this ROM? And does anyone know how to center the clock in the status bar? Thanks! (I've been using this ROM for some time and was just wondering what's coming up).
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I'll take the opportunity and do a quick status. I have an ICS port booting, but crashing on the settings app. Seems a small thing to fix, but I spent almost all weekend on it. But might be close...

I have a "update" of the GB ROM planned, at least to add the English translations and an updated GMail. Still no date on that, as I spent all my free time trying to get ICS working.

And if MIUI releases an updated GB ROM, or even their own ICS port, of course I'll release an update then.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
wow.... glad to knw ur progress buddy.thanx a lot
[Nexus One Android Development] Closed Source Project:
Yes, thanks much. I would love a Gingerbread update as the current has many translation bugs. I absolutely hate ICS as there are way to many bugs and problems. It just sucks that stock GB ROMs have been currently (permanently?) discontinued from MIUIAndroid and MIUI.us.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
running a2sd variant. i hv app & cache on ext. so if i nandroid backup, flash other rom then restore the backup. nw everything stays intact including sd ext rite(ext settings,app n cache)???
[Nexus One Android Development] Closed Source Project:
Yes, but you have to make sure that every thing is selected when making a Nandroid backup. I prefer Clockwork (4ext recovery) as it automatically backs up everything by default. When you click restore it will recover everything, Everything!

--

On a general note, is there any way to stop apps from automatically backing up with MIUI (This ROM is the only one that gave me this problem)? Every time I install the ROM, it makes a folder on the SD called App_Backup and backs up all of my apps. It's stupid and makes my phone lag. I do not have it set to do so as it does it by default whenever I clean install the ROM.

I would appreciate if Gingerbread was kept in higher order over ICS as ICS is waaay too buggy for our device.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
hey thanx for the info CSP.

and to your question, i have never ever had that with this rom. to make double sure i check my sd. i didnt find any folder cald app_backup. i didnt find anything in MIUI folder too. wonder wats the problem wid u :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Android Development] geney:
Agreed on MIUI ICS. It's way too buggy for daily use IMO. Not to mention it's slow.

Hopefully there will be some update on GB MIUI.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I don't have an App_Backup folder, and I don't know any setting to do this behaviour. But if you set anything up in MIUI, it should be in the /sdcard/MIUI folder. Are you sure you haven't installed any app that does this backup?
[Nexus One Android Development] johnnydvc:
Hi there,

Is it safe to remove miui update with ti backup? I'm on 2.3.9 and sometimes it keeps showing thaht there are updates available, and there's no option to disable it. It's a useless application and it would be nice to remove it.

Thanks! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
A solution could be to customize the "[ROM] ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.3U1 Passion <2012-04-20> (Bravo CM9 HWA) " imposing as default lancher the MiHome and add as custom app the Mifilemanager and so on :P

In this way u got also the updateme app to track new ROM versions :)
