I had the same problems trying to get v3.5 to work. I followed the instuctions to partition my sdcard using gparted. My sdcard is partioned as first post 6.4gfat32, 1gext4, 300mbext3 and 133mbswap. Wiped all options. I then flashed the rom from partitioned sdcard only containing the rom. But bootlooped for over 20mins. Tried this a number of times. I even used doc formatutility but no luck.

I've since got it to boot as follows:

I restored an old nandroid backup I had (rods v3.1.2). I only wiped cache and dalvik cache twice in recovery and then flashed v3.5 and it booted up in a few minutes no problems. Logged into my google account didn't install any apps and ran quadrant and got 2209 no tweaks whatsoever.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
All Quads 2500+

Just a quick post. Not as high as Rods, but he mentions airplane mode and I just wanted to get a feel. Using the kernel Rod included all I did was max set CPU setting and changed to Performance. Nothing lower than 2500 :eek: (2492)
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
tnx as always doc. should we set the cluster size to 32k too? or it's just a set for your sdcard!?
[Nexus One Android Development] loggie1:
I had a force close of theme manager, someone reported earlier thats its a miui 1.6.3 bug. I rebooted and ran another quadrant and scored 2358. Still nothing tweaked.

Super rom as usual rod!!!!!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] deenoo:
Just tried the ROM, it looks really amazing. But I'm hitting several issue that I'm not sure if it's my phone's issue. I flashed the ROM just following instructions (4 partitions, fat32+ext4+ext3+linux-swap), but it seems that the apps are not installed to the ext4 partition. after booting up, my internal space is only 60ish MB. And I was also having wifi connection issue. Any helps?

Going back to Kang-o-rama 1.2 for now. Really hoping I could enjoy this ROM.
[Nexus One Android Development] ultra99:
I'm getting stuttering when using a headset, and sometimes I hear the music and not the vocals. Could that be a problem from the rom or something else??
[Nexus One Android Development] amibumping:
It´s not necessary to wipe when format the SD? if yes when we have to wipe after or before we formar with partition magic?
[Nexus One Android Development] dickyctk:
Seems the c2sd (cache 2 sd) is not working. I have very limited cache size and can't install any apps now. May I know any command to check if I am using C2SD? Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I don't think the cluster size will make or break. But then again....who knows. I only added this in case some others with Patriot cards had the same issues.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
If your Internal free space is only 60 Mb, then there is no way you have this installed correctly. Can you verify the file version you are installing. Is this the 3.5 ROM for sure? Here's a screen shot of about phone on my current setup using Rods' 3.5 ROM
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
For the last few versions once in a while I hear a strange screech sound that is very short lasting. But that's the only anomaly.
[Nexus One Android Development] YoMarK:
Have the same problem. Just loops the boot animation for about 10 minutes now.

But i only have one ext4 partition. Don't need DataToExt only DT's apps to SD, this should still work right? Worked fine with 3.4.1.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
ThemeManager Fix

Decided to try alternate apk files. This one from Rods prior 3.3 ROM works. I have had no FC's. I used Root explorer and renamed the original ThemeManager.apk file for test purposes to .bak and then copied the one I am uploading. Make sure you change the permissions correctly, reboot and it should work with no FC's. Have tested various themes already, both downloading from online and from my own local copies.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
You are totally confused. This ROM uses a newer data2EXT file management. It is NOT I repeat NOT a DarkTremor type ROM. If you do NOT want Data2EXT and the speed and stability associated with it, then don't even bother. No, DarkTremors a2sd is another animal altogether. Totally NON compatible. This is built into the rom, which is why the multiple EXT requirement in the first place. Although some users have run a single ext, they will NOT see the same results as multiple exts with a swap, and a2sd is NOT even supposed to be installed.

Edit: You should stick with MIUI-DEV plain Jane stock ROM which uses a2sd. Have you even read the OP first page?
[Nexus One Android Development] miguelm75:
similiar problem here. when trying to restore apps with Titanium Backup, some failed. the same with installing apk's.

in "About phone" is written:

SD Card: available space: 2,73 GB

Internal Memory: 738 MB available.

maybe the issue is with permissions?

the strange thing is: mount in terminal emulator shows dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /data type ext2, although i formatted it using Parted Magic to ext3, then to ext4 (of course small partition is formatted to ext3 and there is linux-swap).

any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
holly sh*#t, that works!!!!

I guess this post went unoticed among all the noise and furor of the loops and problems and extraordinary performances of v3.5.... but well... using the solution given here, I've got myself a working FM radio under a GB based MiUI mod...

I'm running rods v3.2 Fix with a redstar kernel....

Give it a try, guys...

Procedure:

Spirit FM Radio

Installation:

1. Download FMRadio_v2017.zip

2. Unzip archive to root of SD-card

3. Put file "ssd" to /system/bin/

4. Change the permissions for this ssd file to 755 (or if you're using root explorer, to rwxrwxr-x, might be overkill but works)

5. Install FMRadio_v2017.apk

6. Enjoy

It's doesn't have the nice fancy UI that MiUI radio had, but hey... it WORKS!
[Nexus One Android Development] miguelm75:
one more thing: when trying to log to Google account, it shows blank black screen.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
If the apps were saved under a non Data2ext system, then possibly TiBackup will have issues based on how the files are being restored. I manually restore my apps and do NOT rely on TiBackup when it comes to a total change in the type of ROM such as this. I don't understand your method of using an ext3 to ext 4 means of creating the first large partition. I use a Linux bootable disk, using a partition editor Gparted and the sd card NOT in the phone, but in a card reader and create the ext4 from the get go. I formatted every partition to insure an absolute clean setup, then copied the ROM over to the phone and formatted the phone system, data, cache with the modified format utility, followed by wipes of all options with Amon 2.2.1. I posted quadrant scores close to Rods. I posted a fixed ThemeManager.apk and all is well. I have had zero issues with installing my apps, but again, I do NOT rely on Titanium Backup when using a drastically different style rom such as this.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
See my last. I suggest starting over from scratch. I have no blank screens. Everything works!!!!

Edit: Screen shot shows Google setup with no problems as well as a changed theme to buuf style.
[Nexus One Android Development] miguelm75:
i did the same, but with no luck :-) maybe will try to do it one more time.
[Nexus One Android Development] YoMarK:
I mentioned Darktremor A2SD and that's my bad. What in meant was: I use 1 (wiped!)ext4 partition.

Yes I read the OP, and I quote:

I don't really need it for storage, and don't really care for high quadrant scores, so that's why I (really want to)stick with old style 1 EXT partition.

But I think I answered my own question, version 3.5.0 does not work with 1 EXT partition. Version 3.4.1 however did.
[Nexus One Android Development] gauv20:
No ideas for the wifi issue ?

Obtaining ip-address and then it disconnect...
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
See one of my later posts here. I uploaded an APK that doesn't FC. Took it from Rods older 3.3 version.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I never even used that setting. My phone flies and I have done nothing but install, and push setCPU up to get a good quadrant score. I have uploaded an APK for Thememanager to fix the FC's. Other than that...perfect ROM so far.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
No sound for me. I read that Forum referenced and a few users had same no sound issues. And yes, my permissions are correct etc. I'll wait. I read the developers web site and it's a beta work in progress. I don't care for the interface it uses now. Low priority for me anyways, but nice to see something working for those that need.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
But 3.4.1 was still based on data2EXT and is NOT an a2sd ROM. If you are saying you have darkT installed and the commands running on 3.4.1 than it sounds like Voodo to me. Yes, users have stated that a single EXT has worked on that specific ROM. But no, that ROM is NOT based on a2sd methodology, so I am unclear what you have going on. If you have that running, then what does about phone settings state for Free Internal memory. If it's a number higher than 196MB, than data2ext is running and NOT Dark T. If Dark T is successfully running, than the Free Internal memory should be approx 165Mb to 190Mb based on number of apps you have installed. If.....you somehow have clobbered the file management setup and you are running less than lets say approx 120Mb free or a number between 50MB and 120Mb or so, then you basically are running a ROM that is NOT using any applications to SD card methodology and therefore, the more apps you install, the less you have in your /data partition where user apps are installed. On the Nexus One, the /data partition is set by hardware at 196MB.

Edit: Just read the my bad about DarkT. Sorry for some of what I just wrote. But still unclear here where you want to go with this. If you stay with your current setup, then you are basically stuck at any newer ROMs from ROD. Unless there is some magical way to use only a single ext on 3.5 or higher. I have no reason to try to limit myself. Witht the multiple partitions, I can also install any CM7, GB, Sense, etc etc based ROM. I am not limited by partitioning using this setup. IOW, once you do this, there are no disadvantages. if you decide to stay with one, then you may as I stated end up basically not using anything from Rod. Your choice. Not here to arm twist. Only here to help and point out issues that some may not realize or see.
[Nexus One Android Development] Autinhyeu:
i was test this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995445 in this evening (full wipe), then i comeback this ROM with full format SD Card & full wipe... Flash ROM, reboot my phone, but boot loop more times :( i dont know why... the last night, i flash this rom 2 times, & its boot fine... but at the moment, it dont :(
[Nexus One Android Development] krypticos:

Update: did a full wipe again and reinstalled it got it to boot. the only thing that is weird is that the sd card icon hasnt went away after about 10 min or so

Doc, how to post jpg here? I got a quarant of 2800 and I would like to post it.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Well, I've got some issues with sound too... :rolleyes:

It works, but then after I quit the app, the speaker doesn't work anymore... Until I replug the headphones, and play music or something, then unplug, then stop the music app...

As you say, it's still work in progress (there's another version on the market but it doesn't work on my phone) and not perfect.... But for those who really want their FM radio, it's great!
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
Only thing FC is theme manager.

Edit: downloaded your theme manager apps, it's working now (can't stand Rod's black theme - too dark for me).

Thanks.

I flashed this ROM 3 times already. It runs alright after I flash it, but when I run c2sd command, the phone turns off and gets stuck at the X logo. :confused:

Am I doing anything wrong?

this VERSION is NOT for A2SD Commands.. dont do this better again if u love ur N1 ... please read the Installation FAQ next time
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
He said c2sd (is a2sd and c2sd the same?)
[Nexus One Android Development] hextence:
But on the first post it says "Dalvik-Cache is on Phone by Default (for Performance & Stability) to move it to SD

type in Terminal "su" and "c2sd" Wait... your Phone Reboots Automatically..."

Thats why I ran the command.
[Nexus One Android Development] mudrock1000:
SO I have a problem. I use partition magic, and when I reboot back into Windows it says the card needs to be formatted. My phone also says it can't read it when flashing a rom. So I am basically screwed because I can't restore a Nandroid to fix it.
[Nexus One Android Development] tonyeva:
Changing the theme(anything but black),

and try again the WIFI.

It worked for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] hextence:
I was in the same situation. I just plugged my card into my phone and used the partition sd option in recovery. Then my card was recognized by the phone. Hope this helps. :)

Really Odd behavior on reboots

So, I flashed this after a full wipe in my PC running the partition boot disk. Basically reformatted all the partitions just to be safe (after backing up to the PC just in case). I also did full wipes from recovery as well before flashing. Using AmonRA, btw. After some long boot loops, everything comes up fine and looks good. However, some odd issues:

(I have "started over" 3 times from scratch all these issues are consistent)

a) SetCPU keeps force closing

b)There are odd and inconsistent lags, although the system is otherwise very snappy (quick Quadrant run comes in at 2000-ish)

c) on further reboots, the nice 1.5GB of Internal storage that I had disappears (shows the "normal" amount of internal storage), and things go pretty much back to looking like I just did a fresh wipe and flash!!!

d) repeated reboots randomly will show the 1.5GB of internal, and other time it won't.

e) reboots all go through the multiple boot loop process

After several attempts with reformats, wipes, re-flashes, etc, I've had to do a nandroid restore to my 3.4.1 installation.

I'll try again with 3.5.1, but if anyone has thoughts or suggestions on what may help, I'll take 'em!

Thanks,

-Hans
[Nexus One Android Development] mqmeszi:
You won! Thank you very much. This method works!

edit: quadrant score 2606
[Nexus One Android Development] sl8125:
ditto. its happening to me too. how long does it take to clear the bootloop?
[Nexus One Android Development] hextence:
I didnt get cleared at all. I left it like that for an hour.
[Nexus One Android Development] Autinhyeu:
yes, :D i dont know, but its a method for bootloop users ^^ (cant boot your phone when flash this ROM)...
[Nexus One Android Development] mikeyy00:
I get the bootloop problem, strange thing i notice is that if i pull my sdcard after bootloop fail ( i let it run for 30min+ ) my 1gb ext4 partition shows up as a ext2 partition? formatted sdcard to proper fat 32/ext4/ext3/swap and again the same thing the second partition changes to ext 2 after attempted install( bootloop)

thoughts?

SD card Partitioning

Can i use other method on partitioning sd card?? Is it okay if I use Minitool Partition Wizard? I cannot get the steps on how to partition sd card via first post sir..

trying it now, not looking good, bootlooping again. will let it run for about 10 min

this is frustrating

i followed all kinds of instructions to the t and get same results

i'll keep plugging away

Umm use the theme manager...
[Nexus One Android Development] mikeyy00:
still no go, tried different recovery (amon-ra instead of clockwork)

partitioned and formatted in gparted

same bootloop and same weird second partition is getting changed to ext 2 from ext 4
[Nexus One Android Development] amibumping:
I did it wrong and before to do what you say i uninstall the current thememanager and then try to install the one that you post, but now i can't install it, it has any solution??

Thanks BTW!
[Nexus One Android Development] sl8125:
Just don't use the c2sd. it will work fine. until ROD figures out the Davik Cache problem. Well i think its a problem. He prob already know about it.

Even without the c2sd phone still useable. quadrant upto 2800 which is not bad. don't care much for it but... phone just feels smooth.
[Nexus One Android Development] dvdschnck:
Sounds good. Trying it now...

My head hurts, and now I have a head-sized hole in my wall. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] phazey12:
Didn't work for me =\ Still getting bootloop
[Nexus One Android Development] sl8125:
are you having problems with the first boot up or stuck on bootloop after c2sd command?

if your having bootloop after c2sd, don't use it.

if you are having problems with first boot up, check your partition.

as mentioned in the op you must follow the partition order. if you have unpartitioned gap in between the fat32/ext4/ext4/swap you will have the first boot up problem. if you have unpartitioned gap after the swap it should run fine.

i made this mistake awhile i was trying to resize the partition and it was not booting up for me to start with the gap in the partition.
[Nexus One Android Development] Autinhyeu:
bootloop in how many time??
[Nexus One Android Development] phazey12:
I have partitioned my sd card many times with parted magic. one fat32 partition, one ext 4, one ext 3, and one swap. No unpartitioned space in between. I would full wipe and install 3.5 to only get bootloops on first boot. I have waited over 20+ minutes. I also tried the formatsystemdatacache utility to wipe, but still getting bootloop.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
You don't "install" it, even if it's called ***.apk

Instead you need to push it to its right place, in /system/app/thememanager.apk

Then you need to set the permissions to rw-r--r--

Using rootexplorer makes that a breeze!
[Nexus One Android Development] Autinhyeu:
Try follow me:

_ Insert Boot CD Parted Magic in to CD ROM, and boot it...

_ Connect SD card to your laptop...

_ Format SD follow Rod's instruction... (#1)

_ Reboot your laptop, copy MIUI v1.6.3 Stock ROM to SD Card...

_ Go to Recovery, wipe everything (data, cache, ...)

_ Flash MIUI ROM... Complete, reboot your phone to live MIUI ROM Stock...

_ Then continue follow Rod's instruction, begin from format SD Card...

i have bootloop long time with this ROM in the tonight (my phone cant boot, i wait a hour for it =.=)... but with this method, my phone boot after 5 minutes :)

good luck ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Did you partition your card "away from the phone"?

It seems to me that this is one of the points doc had highlighted...

you take the sd card away from the phone, partition it with a computer (either in linux boot or with minitool), copy the rom zip on the fat partition and then put it on the phone.

Then boot to recovery, wipe X3, flash the rom

reboot and waaaaiiittt (5 to 15mn, apparently, depending on users).

EDIT

If you still have tooooo many bootloops, go the Autinhyeu way, installing stock MiUI first, then Rod's on the partitioned SD.... Mightbe overkill, though. My guess is that the problems come from Android writing things on the card after it's been formated that is done with the card in the phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] phazey12:
I tried autinhyeu's way and no go. Every time I partition, I have it in recovery mode USB toggle. I think I'll just wait for 3.5.1
[Nexus One Android Development] dvdschnck:
MIUI v1.6.3 Stock link at deodex.miuiandroid.com is down! Anyone have an alternate link for us?

Nevermind. ROM is coming down the interpipes now.
[Nexus One Android Development] mikeyy00:
followed this exactly

animation bootloop for 15min + now, pulled sdcard after to check, again second ext4 gets changed to ext 2 after install of rod's mod.

if i pull sdcard it boots up , it dont like the partitions it seems, but ive used everything gparted, minitool, ubuntu

losing hair at this point
[Nexus One Android Development] amibumping:
So many thanks! :D :D
[Nexus One Android Development] jcky000:
No go for me...

formatted the microSD card by using sd card adapter in parted magic, put rom in, wipe x3, flashed, bootloop for 30 mins, tried a few times already

then i went to recovery and try to mount usb, and it cant be mount!

So i plug it back into windows and use mini too rebuild the MBR and it reads now.

Able to boot in but no lockscreen and home&search soft key is not working. FC in theme changer also. But the internal storage show i have 9xx mb, so i think the d2ext is working.

But there's no way i can use it without home key now, going back to stock 1.63 for now:(
[Nexus One Android Development] wschom:
This worked great. When doing this remember to boot all the way into the base MIUI after installing it.
[Nexus One Android Development] ultra99:
I think it's rom specific, because I played the same song and occasionally I'll hear stuttering the music runs in "slow motion". What gives?
[Nexus One Android Development] terente0081:
I've tried installing 3.5 for the past 8 hours with no success. I've partitioned the card exactly as suggested, in the exact same order. 6.1Gb FAT32, 1024Mb EXT4, 300Mb EXT3 and 128Mb SWAP with no success. Bootloops for as long as I leave it. I've also tried 2 EXT4 partitions, I've tried with and without gaps between the partitions, I must have formatted at least 20 times today.

I'm going to wait on 3.5.1, it seems like 3.5 doesn't like my N1 at all.
[Nexus One Android Development] loggie1:
Try this....If you have a nandroid backup of a miui rom restore it (or maybe flash an older version of miui) and reboot so the backup is working, go back to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash 3.5 over it. That worked for me. Not sure why but it did.
[Nexus One Android Development] terente0081:
I'll give this a try, but I also have a question. My current ROM is Rod's 3.4 which works with 2 EXT4 partitions, which is how I have the card partitioned right now.

Should I partition the card per 3.5 spec with EXT4 & EXT3 and flash on top of 3.4?

Or leave it with 2 EXT4's and give it a try?
