Having low system memory can do all sorts of weird issues including blocking the ability to save sms messages or to generate an sms message. This was definitley an issue a while back for many users including me, that had bad blocks. While most bad blocks on the N1 caused issues with the boot partition, requiring ROM cookers to alter the boot img size so that many of these hardware affected phones could still boot up from a new ROM install, especially the Sense Roms, mine specifically had no problems with the boot partition, but my data partition had over 85Mb of bad blocks (bad nand)and more bad blocks with /system, and cache too. Google search low system memory Nexus one sms messaging and you will see what I mean. Anyways, HTC RMA'd my phone a few months ago for this reason. I have had my phone since third week in January 2010 when it was just shown at CES Las Vegas.

Maybe this will fix your GPS:

I found a Tutorial a few weeks ago, unfortunately I don't know where, but try this:

Download the GPS files which have been extracted from a froyo ROM:

http://www.share. cx/files/971910022477/GPSfiles.rar.html (remove the space)

Now extract the files to the folder where your ADB is located.

Now open your ADB command prompt and enter the following commands:

1. adb remount

2. adb push libgps.so /system/lib

3. adb push gps.bravoc.so /system/lib/hw

4. adb shell

5. cd /system/lib

6. su

7. chmod 777 libgps.so

8. exit

9. cd /system/lib/hw

10. su

11. chmod 777 gps.bravoc.so

12. exit

13. reboot

Including faster fix, I get a GPS fix within 15 Seconds INDOORS!

I can't give you a guarantee, but it works for me

Please read OP first page. Very first FAQ on install and issues.

to fix the mic-speaker call problem, go to

phone -> Menu -> settings -> enable call recording
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Doc, if you haven't yet written much to the card, try booting with a linux distro on a pc and use photorec (in ubuntu it is in the testdisk package) to scan your card. I've managed to recover all kinds of files from damaged usb keys and sd cards with it.

Getting continuous reboots after installing this rom.:(

Any help on this
[Nexus One Android Development] lUndisimon:
Thanks. But I already reinstalled the ROM. GPS works fine now. The only big problem I noticed is the long rotation time. Any solutions for this?
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I basically was going to do similar. About to go for it now. I have a few different Linux Live type bootable disks. Just kind of strange to see this. It's a first for me and been at this a long time...obviously. I usually run a quick SD card backup once per week and with all that's been going on around me the last week, including dealing with my wife and hospital issues, it was just one of the many forgot to do items. Back in a bit and appreciate the post :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Edit: What would help is knowing for sure the exact terminology of the error. I had a few users pm me recently and they were mixing up low memory and Internal memory error messages. Just putting that out there in case others are seeing similar.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
That used to work, but I have found that current MIUI wants to see the ringtones and notifications specifically in the /system/media/audio /ringtones or /system/media/audio/notifications folder, specifically. Bear in mind that system only has maybe 3MB free. I intentionally dlete the OGG files and put back a custom folder of "tones" for each ringtme and notification subfolder.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
No such erro on a normal basis. Has to be an issue with install or your individual setup. The usual course of fix for issues that are not seen by others.....total new clean install. You aren't really saying your means of installation here to offer help...including exact specific steps.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I had some bootloop issues at the beginning too. What solved the issue for me was re-wiping 3x everything and reflashing the ROM (and formating the SD, too... ). Then rebooting takes a LOOOONG time the first few times... Don't give up on your phone until at least 10 minutes have past (for the first boot...)
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
A big Thanks: photorec

Wow, never used that utility (photorec) before. (On my PqMagic Live CD)Only problem initially was forgetting to mount a drive, so that I had a place to restore the files to. Ran for an hour. I have something like 40 recup_dir with a hodgepodge of named files, but everything is there. I just have to figure out a good way now of filtering everything and renaming the files to make sense of them. Going to try using this on an external USB drive I have sitting around that basically errored out two years ago with being able to read info. I had a copy of ALL my JPG's I ever took in the last 15 years or so. I have various backups of those files, but not of everything. Didn't want to spend big bucks going to driversavers companies to see if I could recover them. But this utility Photoreco restored something like 3000Jpgs. A lot of that stuff is system file junk but again, I managed to find basically asll of the pix I hd on the card, spread out amonst all the backup folders it created. Back to restoring my phone.....
[Nexus One Android Development] YoMarK:
Me too, rotation is very slow, which makes typing messages a pain in the ass.

What's the best launcher to use with MIUI?

..i tend not to like default, iphone-like launcher...but rom is great!
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I'm using the same kernel, and the behaviour is a bit bizarre... after the boot, I don't have the "unlock sim" screen... But when I turn screen off, then on, this screen shows.

However, I have not had a single problem with cell reception...

And all my market problems have vanished now... I don't know what happened, nor what did solve the thing...
[Nexus One Android Development] rodigezstyle:
First D2E Tests are Perfekt... I Love it and i think my D2E Update comes tonight :D
[Nexus One Android Development] gui.aguiar:
Rod,

Great News! One question: Is it possible to repair rotation? It's too slow...
[Nexus One Android Development] RotasOpera:
Pleeeeeeez fix the rotation issue!
[Nexus One Android Development] rodigezstyle:
Looks Fixed in the new Release... ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] xdapimp:
wow now this is a nice benchmark i'd like to see this on my nexus1 !
[Nexus One Android Development] gui.aguiar:
Thanks Rod! IT's great!

Just one more question: How did you get this benchmark? Did you do a special configuration in your phone or just installed your Rom? Whch Kernel are you using?
[Nexus One Android Development] safeplayer22:
Any reason I am having trouble getting Google voice app? I used titanium to try to restore it, but it can't. then i tried going to the market to d/l and install and it won't.
[Nexus One Android Development] Pryda:
D2E is the answer ;)

Really can't wait for the D2E release. Phone is not really smooth actually and I love the theme and all Rod's stuff!
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Rod, I had to just reformat my card from really bad corruption. Right now not sure we are on the same page. Gotta run out now, but can you post back your SD card setup. I did a quick new setup using ext4 1.2Gb , swap128Mb, and balance of my 32Gb card Fat32. Patriot website listed some known compatibility issues with my card and both Windows7 and Android. They had recommended 32Kb instead of default for formatting FAT32 cluster size. Have not had a chance to load up a ROM, so basically I can quickly change my card. What's weird is I redid my card this morning, and all the individual files I placed on the card did another disappearing act. My folders were still there , but separate files such as apk files, or .mtz files or anything else placed on the card, such as a kernel download, all disappeared again. Very strange. This time I was using the Sense ROM RCMixHD that is the latest greatest alternative ROM.
[Nexus One Android Development] rodigezstyle:
Rom comes with a 1.19GHz BFS EVO Kernel modded for N1 with costum interactive uv management and a lot of new Tweaks... to much for now :)
[Nexus One Android Development] xdapimp:
Sounds intresting :) when are we going to get it Rod?
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
sounds good but last intersectRaven's kernel is really good too ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Vasikun:
Not sure what happend to me, maybe someone has a logical explanation....I installed yesterday the new rom 3.2 fixed, after wiping and that kind of stuff.

Today I was really happy with this new rom untill my battery was drained and I had to restart it with the charger. But it never got back up and running again

So i made a backup in recovery, wiped everything and restarted it.....still no go.

Then I wiped again and installed the fresh rom again....ofcourse working

Then back to recovery, wipe, and restore.....no go again.

Does anybody have an idea what happend here?

edit: the backup had a date somewhere in 1980
[Nexus One Android Development] RotasOpera:
Are you sure that you set the right date + time?

I always restart my phone once, after a new installation.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I don't think it's so much of a date issue...But...what are you using for Recovery and backups. Amon or Clockwork. If clockwork, versions 3.x are known to cause problems on many ROMs. Highly advise Amon and 2.2.1 is the latest version. Plus I'm unclear on the exact issue with the backup. What does no go mean exactly.

Edit: also...not a good idea to run backups with a drained battery. Even if on a charger. I have seen all sorts of flakiness when the phone is down to zero charge and you try to do anything with it. I don't have any logical explanation. Just anecdotal that I have heard others make similar claims when battery is totally drained, backups fail, or do not finish, IOW seem to just stop in the middle of the backup, or fail by just stopping in the middle of a restore. Just a good idea to let it charge up for 30 minutes or so to be on the safe side, unless it's some dire emergency and you just can't wait :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Vasikun:
No go means that it was starting up untill the big X. From there nothing happend anymore. I charged the battery for a while, maybe about 15 mins.

I did the backup cause it was, sort of my last lifeline. It couldn't go more worse. btw the backup finished succefull. I'm using Clockwork 3.0.0.5
[Nexus One Android Development] hackermail:
Rod, is this kernel available separately for download somewhere?
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Stop using clockwork and start using Amon 2.2.1 and you will have much better results including no dreaded X after an flash install. Also, use this utility that will run a format on boot, system, cache, data. It does this 2x in succession. Then with Amon, repeat all the options to wipe. Do this at least 2x also for each. NOW....you are set for a proper clean install.

Can someone tell me, why my score in Quadrant is so low?

I overclocked to 1113Mhz and disabled all other running apps, but my highest score was 970????
[Nexus One Android Development] xavier7:
Hi guys, sorry but I can't find it, so I'll just ask, after flashing this ROM, I can't seem to find US only apps on Android Market.

Ex: Google Maps, Google Voice Search.

I used MarketAccess, but the results still don't show.

Is there any settings in the ROM that I should change?

thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Hi!

Here, in France, I do have access with no problems at all to these "localized apps". I've just updated maps to version 5.5.0 20 minutes ago!

Try deleting the market cache and data (from settings/apps), that might help. and maybe double check in settings/location-language that you're indeed using "English US"...

PS sorry for the imprecise indications of were stuff are, I'm using a French translated ROM, so the names are not the same.
[Nexus One Android Development] xavier7:
Thanks a lot :)

I tried rebooting, off then on again, downloading redstar kernel to try it out

Edit : still a no go with redstar kernel.
[Nexus One Android Development] RotasOpera:
try this:

open the dialpad, open the menu and then go in settings.

scroll to the bottom, and activate the last option (should be name like "allow 3. party blabla"....not sure, because I'm using german translation)

v3.3 D2EXT is Online... (Repartition & Fullwipe, please read the Changelog)
[Nexus One Android Development] gui.aguiar:
Thanks Rod!

But I didn't understand the installation, especially the Parted Magic... Could you explain it to us?
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Parted magic is Linux based program for Partitioning. Notes the requirements using two partitions and Linux and EXT. This means a total reformat of SD card and use the utility to add those partitions. You can't do this with Amon or Clockwork.

Going to work on this later today. This si NOT for the faint of heart. Yes, this can possibly work with the Partition scheme we all use now, but if you want it to run correctly, you MUST use a utility capable of adding more Partitions and the swap file an taking the time to do this right. Will report in later on this.

PQMAGIC iso....<<<Google this to create bootable live CD for running Gpart partitioning editor. This is what I use.

ROD....Thanks....CU SOON!!! with report.
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
Will try d2ext (for anything). Not sure if I understand no.2 and 3 below (are the same thing, or you can actually make 2 ext4).

No.1 = xxGB Fat32

No.2 = 1GB Ext4

No.3 = 300 MB Ext4

No.4 = 100 MB Linux Swap
[Nexus One Android Development] DaVinca:
Hi :)

Really love the Mod... but now i really don't know how i can flash it correctly... sry... i am just not that into this scene... would be really glad if someone can post a quick tut what i should do now or just gimme a link so i can read throw something and get this **** started!

So can i make those partition just whit my N1 or do i really need to make BootCD first?

And what does D2EXT mean? :confused:

AND my bigger question is.. why do i need to make 4 partition... boost performance? anyway.. would be really helpfull if someone can explain this a bit for the noobs (me) her!

thy :)
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
3.3 downloading now ...

after read the changelog: O____O

then tomorrow new MIUI build .... OMG!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I knew Rod should have put out more of an FAQ on this. Basically use whatever program you are used to. I like Pqmagic.iso . Google that. Create a bootable disk. Then boot from the disk and open up the Partition editor tool and create the partitions in the order shown above in your reply. Yes, two EXT4 partitions. You must use the order shown above. The tools for this are GUI and you basically tell the program what to do, then you apply the settings, to create the partitions.

For the other user asking abount how to boot, you create this setup, then basically install as you normally would. The data2ext scripting takes care of everything else as far as I know, and you will end up using your total EXT for Internal memory. Not use if it will use 1Gb or 1300GB for the total insternal. Have to read up on that, but just going to install and see how it goes.

I would advise anyone with specific questions to do some google researching instead of trying to get a detailed why do this and why do that questions answer period right now. This is NOT for the faint of heart. This is not for those that feel uncomfortable with reformatting and using a linux based tool to create a more advanced setup. If I come across callous, don't mean to. But if one reads up on data2Ext or Data2Sd vs D2W vs a2sd they can answer a lot of this stuff for themselves and gain more expertise on the why do this or do that.

End of DocMark's Soap Box for this morning. Have to run errands so not going to get to all of this right away. If some users would prefer to wait, I will write up a detailed FAQ on step by step and the why's etc, but this is going to take time since I do have other stuff to get to this morning.

Or Rod will step up too, I'm sure.

Later to all.....:eek::D:D

this is one buggy ass rom. screen constantly shuts off. does anyone know where i can find a stock miui with a dropdown status bar ? thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
MIUI-DEV has plane Jane stock. Did you reformat and setup your SD card as prescribed Fat32 "2" ext4 partitions 1G b and 300Mb or so and a linux 100-128Mb swap?

Have you ever installed a ROM that uses D2W or data2ext or data2sd and realize the time it takes to setup correctly including rebooting etc. I'm in the process now of setting this up. Just need to know your report is based on OP's FAQ on proper installation. Thanks for your time.
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
Not sure how this setup (new SD card partitions) will impact other roms, I do switch roms back and forth (most of them are a2sd), now try to mix a2sd and d2ext roms, it will be interested.
[Nexus One Android Development] thatg:
didnt do any of that, just flashed the rom coming from cm7 tried to run it. couple things i like better about miui but im too lazy so ill just stick with cm7
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Sorry, but that explains the issues you had.
[Nexus One Android Development] Pryda:
Can we format SD Card/Partition SD card from the N1 directly? Software could recognize it...? Or we have to insert SD into the computer first.

Sry for this stupid question btw :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I don't think it will affect the other a2sd ROMs at all. They (the script0 look for a Primary Fat32 which is Partition 1. They look for an EXT2, 3, or 4 and that is Partition 2. Partition 3 is not in the mix for a standar ROM or A2sd. It doesnt look for it, so it won't know it's there. And swap is supported with a2sd and I have run swap and no swap on any number of ROMs. IOW...I don't think it's an issue, but then again, I'm not perfect either :)

Anyways, I have my Partitions setup as follows, with my 32Gb class 10 Patriot

1. Fat32 29.3Gb (Using a cluster size of 32Kb since Patriot advised me of some issues with this 32Gb card and this is a fix for the issues) Used Windows 7 administrative tools to change my clusters. This is totally optional for me with the Patriot SD card.

2. 1.17Gb EXT4

3. 334Mb EXT4

4. 128Mb Linux-Swap

About to transfer the rom back, the format utility back and nothing else. Going to format the partitions on the phone followed by the standard multiple wipes with Amon 2.2.1 followed by flashing the ROM. I find a barebones SD card makes this go really fast and nothihg else is around that can cause me issues.

Back in a short while....
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
I am planning to use my spared SD card for this experiment. Did you say you did the formatting (and partitioning) in the phone (or we have to do this in PC)?
[Nexus One Android Development] xdapimp:
i just tried my other 4GB sd card, formatted it like it says on the changelog,

1. 2.38gb fat32

2. 1gb ext4

3. 300mb ext4

4. 100mb swap

and after wiping x3 times and also flashed the format utility the phone boot straight up to bootloader, nothing more.

tried flashing again, same thing.

i now back to my old sd card and restored my nandroid and everything works fine.

can it be a damaged sd card or what else?

would like to see an update from Doc or any other person..
[Nexus One Android Development] gui.aguiar:
I think that we really need a good tutorial... I don't know how to boot Parted Magic ...
[Nexus One Android Development] samson_420:
She's running. . . . Dropped the .zip into a non formatted SD. Flashed through CW.

Let's see what it does. . . No boot loop yet.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Do NOT use ForMat Utility on this setup

I had exact duplicate issue with the flash format utility. I have had this happen to me before with a similar utility where you can ONLY boot back to the bootloader. You basically fix this with using a Nandroid backup. Reflashing another ROM will not work. Restoring first with a Nandroid backup will fix this issue. But, also proved the fact that I could use another ROM. Restored with a Formel nandroid from a while back and it booted up just fine.

OK...so now, I am currently watching what I think i...........no scratch that...I thought I was boot looping, but nope. I have a desktop and it's even posting a message my wife just sent to me on the desktop and the trackball is blinking green. OK..I have some work to do now setting this up.

So...do NOT use the Format Utility. I will PM the developer and maybe the partioning has something to do. I just used the wipe options 3x and flashed. Took maybe three minutes before I saw the first boot loop imitation. Did this three times and a desktop in maybe just under 5 minutes.
[Nexus One Android Development] samson_420:
Running pretty smoothly so far. No issues at all actually except I can't change the MMS compression size. It won't send/receive messages since they are not compressed under T-Mobile's limit.

Anyone have a decent MMS APK floating around?
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Doc Mark's First Imressions

Here's a screen shot showing Internal Free memory. Looks to be based on my First Ext4 sized setup. There is absolutely NO LAG and I have NOT rebooted yet. Rod includes two launchers. Stock MIUI and a new one called Sense LP. Might have been LP Sense....I decided to default launcher right now. I just wanted to post this really quick, so that others jump in. Rebooting right now, since I would normally have done this to begin with on this ROM. Notice Rod likes using 4G for data notification. Watching the reboot and it looks like it does the same as the initial install where the boot animation freezes for a second, then goes back to a boot. Looks like it may be boot looping. Going to try just wiping caches and reboot first, and if that's a no go, will reflash on top.
[Nexus One Android Development] mqmeszi:
+1:( boot loop at second boot
[Nexus One Android Development] xdapimp:
Doc thanks alot for the tip,

i tried again to flash and wipe through Amon's recovery only and not the format utilty and it works!

everything seems to work flawlessly ! no lags!

thanks Rod for a beautiful ROM!
