For those of you under MS Windows, not need to go the route of a mini-bootable linux CD for formating the SD card.

Just grab "Minitool partition wizard home edition" (a nice free utility) here and you'll be able to partition in ext2, ext3 etc, create linux swap partitions etc. very easily.

By the way, I personnaly stick to ext2, ext4 being potentially a bit faster but including plenty of unnecessary writing (journaling)... Ext3 is just plain slower.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
The disk is supposed to be bootable. Do you have your PC setup to change the boot disk priority. Usually there's a BIOS utility to enable if a disk drives boots forst or the HDD dirves boot first. Look at the BIOS screen as you boot your PC to see what key gets you into the BIOS setup.

By definition, when you partition, the card is formatted :) Partioning destroys all data on that card. Partition. Insert the card back to the phone. Go to USB enabled in options to copy files from PC to phone, such as the ROM. Wipe using recovery and wipe using the updated utility I mentioned that doe NOT mess with the boot img. Flash ROM and boot.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I reinstalled three times and still can't get wifi to stay on. I guess it's my turn to wait and see :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I think there's an issue with losing all of your data using EXT2w under certain situations. Not sure on this. Yes, there's the mini partion tool,but there was also another issue way back in my mind, why I did not recommend nor use anymore. Hate when there's an issue and I forget what it was. I'm so used to the Linux disk since there are utilities to grab data that cannot be seen anymore via windows, but can be saved via Linux.
[Nexus One Android Development] xdapimp:
i hope Rod is cooking us a nice updated rom with the new miui release of today.. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] dtosun:
I hope too, because i couldnt use it, when i install it there is FC.
[Nexus One Android Development] dtosun:
When I reboot it, I get "System UIDs Inconsistent" error message. Anybody has solution?

I installed Data2ext
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Wait for newer update. Plus when posting, state which rom you are installing, the data2EXT or a2sd and how you installed, specifically step by step.
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
1.5.27 is a little more stable, a little more features and running very smooth so far.

The a2sd issue on 1.5.20 is fixed.

I could not install rod's v3.3, so I am on the stock 1.5.27 instead.
[Nexus One Android Development] superlantern:
will ROD be posting only Data2EXT roms from now on or still use a2sd for some as well?
[Nexus One Android Development] pigous:
My Wifi doesn't work too, ot says obtaining IP address, and after that nothing.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Finally...someone else with my issues. NOT fixable wait for next update.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
He posted BOTH. Most users here seem to have missed this. Look back on page one. TWO downloads. first is data2EXT, second is a2sd.

I just used another script I have used in the past on a CM7 ROM(Evervolve) and it works with NO issues. I am going to try it on Rods a2sd version. I know it works on MIUI-DEV. It has in the past. I want it to work on a custom version.

Will report back. At least it wasnt an FC colossus mistake as in D2W.

Edit: OOOPPPPSSSSS My bad. other a2sd ROM is prior version. That was a wasted download :)
[Nexus One Android Development] rottenjello138:
To fix this I rebooted to recovery and then wiped both the cache and dalvik cache twice. I then wiped the data twice. Rebooted and bam! No more UID messages or force closes. Finally got this rom running :D (even though I was missing a keyboard, used Titanium Backup to restore it though.)
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
Miui fixed the a2sd in 1.5.27. I am running it now and it is very smooth.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
DocMarks new data2sd install

OK...I installed that version. See attached.

1. Installed Main Rom

2. Install Language pack immediately

3. Boot up and install a terminal app. I basically signed on to my wifi and google account so I could get to market and download my Better Terminal app I use.

4. Run SU in terminal and a2sd remove

5. It will reboot. I verified 158Mb free in Settings about phone.

6. Boot to recovery and flash :

A2SDKillerV5.zip <<first

Data2SDInstallerV5_aosp.zip <<<second

do this back to back no reboot.

7. Do not pay attention to any messages as it installs those files. Reboot and Voila..see attached. So far as smooth as butter and no FC's but will reserve judgement till later today with more testing. Will run a benchmark in a bit.

EDIT: http://hotfile.com/dl/119074818/8466a1b/Everthing_Data2SD.zip.html I uploaded a zip containing all necessary files. AOSP references are for MIUI CM7 Gingerbread. Cyanogen references for older CM6 and sense is for sense. I have NOT tested on a sense ROM and would not try it as yet. Seen reports of major issues. The killer file remove a2sd scripts, but I also would run the remove command as I did. The reinstall file is if you want to try an upgrade of a newer rom and only upgrade install, meaning run killer file to remove a2sd scripts and then run the reinstaller version instead. I always clean install, so I cannot verify trying to run an upgrade.

Above is reference material for where I got this stuff. Enjoy for now.......
[Nexus One Android Development] tamsomlao:
Installed since this morning, after formating on Ubuntu the Sd card!

Installation is ok, i have many bootanimations, titanium backup performed!

All is ok!

Nexus one ( since Feb. 2010) 16 GB sd and many...... rom since the Original one ;-)

And so fast! it's
[Nexus One Android Development] xdapimp:
thats looks intresting i might try that also, report if there's no special issues and FC's, how about that benchmark score you got?
[Nexus One Android Development] l3nnon:
a2sd Stable? Rod gonna stay with D2EXT or a2sd @@

Im just done with my partition now installing v3.3 D2EXT.. Wondering how the performance =D
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Going out to exercise with the phone and want to run the music to see how battery is. Attached is a quadrant. Most of the scores were mid 1500's. Worst was a 1327 I ran first. I unzipped Rods Rom to grab out the kernel parts he was using. See screenshot on that. Have to investigate or get Rod to show me what else I need to install to run the script to customize since my terminal app didn't recognize the commands. Not sure what state the kernel is running. I did use SetCPU to pump it to 119000 and performance for now. At least this kernel runs without wifi issues I had with Rods ROM. But I am running this on stock MIUI with no custom speed stuff, so overall, very happy to see benchmark as it is. No FC's on anything. No lagging on anything. Very fast booting. My SD card is still setup for Rods so can't answer much else for now. My main concern which I will test also...no recovery I know of can backup multiple partitions so not sure how this will work with nandroid. It's on my to do test list....

OK...hope this helps all. This is very stable and I would not hesitate to recommend as I instructed which is really simple.

Edit: to install the kernel Rod uses follow these instructions for adbing:

From a cmd prompt and files in your sdk folder. Unzip his rom to grab the zImage file and the bcm4329.ko If anyone has issues, I will upload to a mirror later today. Really want to be able to mod using Rod's script he mentions in FAQ.

1.) adb remount

2.) adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules

3.) adb reboot bootloader

4.) fastboot flash zimage zImage

5.) fastboot reboot

*please note the instructions...push the wifi driver BEFORE rebooting for flashing zImage...if your wifi is turned on when you reboot before you pushed the wifi driver for the kernel, there is a chance that you will go into a bootloop due to the incompatible wifi driver!
[Nexus One Android Development] xdapimp:
nice Doc, my phone just finished loading i did the same setup as you but gonna use a different kernel, will update with my Quadrant score soon, no FC's for now, followed your short manual, seems to work great so far.

EDIT: scored 1719 with stock kernel & 2093 with the latest IR kernel.

and still everything seems to be smooth and stable, i dont know how come i haven't tried this setup before, im more than happy now :D
[Nexus One Android Development] tamsomlao:
Great and fast , no FC i like :p .... this now update
[Nexus One Android Development] hughey2k2:
If nobody has told you in awhile I just want to say thanks Doc for all the help you give on the forums and I want thank Rod too because without Devs like him my Nexus would've been trash long time ago keep up the good work guys. I love that sense launcher btw its nice
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I have used similar in the past. There are three different versions of the data2sd files. These are actually a bit older I think, but they seem to work better for me. I found ss4n1 and sscfg files in Rods /system/bin folder of the ROM so I will push these later. Just need to get some time off for now and I'm copying over my Flac file folder too for music. I know that using your other reference kernels would also give decent scores. This was something totally new. I was also in the past using the mod battery stuff from Viperboy involving undervolting. Did not want to get too caught up in all of this. One baby step at a time.

Main concern is a nandroid backup and restoring that to see what's up or not with mutiple partitions. Anyways...glad I have a minor audience following along. Getting my double barrel virtual shotgun locked and loaded aimed at Germany right now for abadonment issues :D (Just kidding, Rod....)
[Nexus One Android Development] kyle25:
After flashed will always boot into fastboot, will try it again later.

Time to sleep :D
[Nexus One Android Development] rourouni815:
this is a great alternative to partedmagic, it works just as well. When partitioning i did it through the phone while in recovery mode. So you dont have to find an adapter to partition your sd card. Like doc said when you have trouble booting into fastboot do a nandroid backup. What i did was install cm7 first let it boot then wipe it several times and wipe it with the formatzip file then installed this rom now it works almost perfectly. I do have lag when moving from landscape mode to portrait mode when typing anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus One Android Development] Stuart.upton666:
Hey guys, quick question... I'm not at my PC atm and can't create all the partitions. Is it okay if I flash with just a 1GB ext3? Or will I have to wait until I can get on my laptop to do the necessary to have a stable rom?
[Nexus One Android Development] tamsomlao:
you must to partition your SD cart to enable to use this new rom or use version 3.2 version instead od 3.3

;-)
[Nexus One Android Development] jonno2k:
So far so good. This is a great looking ROM (and I thought 2.9 couldn't get much better :cool: ). I installed 3.2 to keep the A2SD stuff, did a single Dalvik wipe, no data wipe and all is good. Apps are just as I left them but I did have to reconfigure everything - a minor price to pay considering I don't have to reinstall everything.

Overall, an awesome looking ROM!!
[Nexus One Android Development] lUndisimon:
Great rom! But i still have the rotation bug:(
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I'll happily take a thanks along the way. It's difficult at times to all of a sudden be told to do something backwards from what one has been doing for a long time. But patience pay off. Not sure which way I will go in the future regarding the scripting mto run a data2EXTor Data2sd. I am convinced it is the way of the future since this is supposed to basically work on almost any phone. Time will tell.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
When you get up...read the posts or read my posts. The original format.zip utility causes an issue with a data2EXT ROM. the fix is a nadroid restore. Create a nadroid folder on your SD card. Then copy a nadroid backup to the correctly names subfolder and resotre that. It will NOT work by simply flashing another ROM. I have since posted a mirror to a modded Format utility that leaves the boot partition untouched. It formats twice...system, data, and cache. Then use recovery options to wipe the other options several times. Now you are ready to flash a data2EXT ROM. The original utility WILL WORK with a2sd ROMs CM7, Sense, Gingerbread stock etc. Something about a data2sd or data2ext ROM causes an issue and you end up with a bootloader only as if there was NO ROM onboard.

[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I posted an FAQ on an alternative using different data2SD scripting and installed it on an a2sd MIUI ROM. It can be done, but users will have to basically try my method and see for themselves the best course of action. If one would search this thread for all my posts the last day or so, I outline how to install an a2sd MIUI ROM, then strip out the a2sd components, flash new components and boot up to a fast and zippy non FC's no lags version of what is called data2sd. This is basically just another mean of installing a ROM to have data2EXT, or the means to use the whole ext for application installs by users. I probably have a slew of posts....easier to search them out and read read read. Then if still unclear, fire away with a question. Please...I do NOT want to spoon feed users here. Much better to understand what one is doing.
[Nexus One Android Development] rottenjello138:
I believe that's a common bug with all dark themes on MIUI roms. Try installing a light theme and that should do the trick.
[Nexus One Android Development] l3nnon:
Dude ur way working fine for me.. Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] l3nnon:
Sad after few reboot my sdcard dmg. Think I need to back to a2sd.
[Nexus One Android Development] abovenbeyond:
Oh great me too...

I installed the rom fine, but something wasnt right and new apps were only links and when clicked it said the app wasn't installed. I think it was cause partitions were not right...

Anyways, so I format, wipe delvik, and cache, and format, create partitions, install rom, it says it completed and enjoy, then reboots into the white screen with the 3 droid dudes :-(

I can now only get into recovery and that screen.

What can I or do I need to do now?
[Nexus One Android Development] abovenbeyond:
This might be what happened to me, I think I formatted boot, no reason... just cause. No I think I hosed myself.

What's the fix? Run the new script?
[Nexus One Android Development] abovenbeyond:
Nope won't let me run the script, gives an error saying somethings not allowing it.
[Nexus One Android Development] abovenbeyond:
However I was able to flash back to CM7 :-( I wonder whats up??
[Nexus One Android Development] abovenbeyond:
Seems to have worked... after installing cm7 again, I then formatted the card with the proper 4 partitions again... then installed the 3.3 rom and it seems to be working.

Strange.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I explained whats up. Something with Rods ROM does not play nice with a utility that formats the boot partition. The fix I proposed was a simple run a nandroid restore. Then use the modified utility in the future if you use a Rom that installs a data2EXT type rom. My modified format utility leaves off formatting boot. The original Format utility will still work as a great tool on any other rom preinstall setup including a2sd ROMs. I thought my prior explanations were as clear as I could be on this.

Edit: Trying to add this to every post I make referring to the modified format utility that does NOT format boot. Turn of sig verification....then it will flash fine. I did not go thru a resigning process when I modified the script
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Turn off sig verification.
[Nexus One Android Development] abovenbeyond:
I think you did, I guess I second guessed. Sorry

EDIT:I tried to flash a different kernal wildmonks2.6.37 but still same error
[Nexus One Android Development] nealed:
OK. Need help. Here's what I have done:

1. Copy files from SD card to PC to back them up

2. Booted PC into Parted Pagic, removed all partitions from SD card

3. Created 6.3GB FAT32 partition. Copied files from PC back to sd card. Copied 3.3.zip to SD card.

4. Unmounted SD card FAT32 partition

5. Created partition no 2 1GB Ext4

6. Created partition no 3 300MB Ext4

7. Created Partition no 4 100 MB Linux Swap

8. Put SD back into Nexus One

9. Boot Nexus into recovery - perform 5 x wipe

10. Flash zip from SD

11. Booted - many FCs on boot - ignored - changed language from French (this must have read settings from French SIM card) to English (UK). Rebooted Phone

12. Got message saying the UIDs were inconsistent and that I had to wipe data partition to avoid instabilities

13. Rebooted to recovery - wiped data

14. Rebooted phone - now when I try to change language again - Settings FCs as soon as I select Language and keyboard. now stuck in French.

15. Perform full wipe

16. Try again - same problem

I will now try to wipe completely and re-flash ROM and start again, but I religously followed the instructions and this happened. any ideas anyone?
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Was not fixable for me either. You can either:

1. Wait for update from Rod

2. Go back to prior a2sd version from Rod while waiting

3. Read post #8936 by me where I explain how to basically use a different form of data2sd scripting that will provide you the same amount of free space using the whole EXT drive and I used the newer base 1.5.27 from MIUI-DEV

PS...for all lurkers who have done this, a new language pack update b released. You simply flash this from recovery and do not have to do anything else. The data2sd setup will not be phased by this. I just updated myself. No, I have not read the changelog yet to see what it fixes. Only saw the update as I was going thru various MIUI threads out there to keep up on latest and greatest. I also pulled Rod default theme from his 3.3 here so when you see the screen shot I am posting, it is using MIUI-DEV AOSP version of MIUI, but will look like it's fully Modded by Rod. It's partially modded since I have been using some of Rods stuff I basically extract from his ROM. Note the v 1.5.27 and note Internal memory 1.05GB available

No FC's...snappy, no lagging, my Gallery of currently 400JPG's loads almost instantaneously and post quadrant yesterday of mid 1500's. Others using different kernels have reported higher using my method of flashing a data2sd script
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Flashing another kernel did not fix this for me. I spent several hours on this exact issue. I clean installed several times. Used a variety of kernels. Also use the more classic method of Kernel installation.

1.) adb remount

2.) adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules

3.) adb reboot bootloader

4.) fastboot flash zimage zImage

5.) fastboot reboot

*please note the instructions...push the wifi driver BEFORE rebooting for flashing zImage...if your wifi is turned on when you reboot before you pushed the wifi driver for the kernel, there is a chance that you will go into a bootloop due to the incompatible wifi driver!

Used the above for a long time before the ability to flash kernels was even possible. A few other users here reported same issue. That's why I basically came up with another method of using newer scripting to have more Internal free Memory via the whole EXT and of which I offered a quick and easy install FAQ. Message #8936
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Rod used customized install of many of google apps where if you look at his ROM, you would see gmail.apk located in BOTH /system/app and /data/app. This could or is the probable reason for a lot of these weird gapps and market issues. Not so sure just having an apk file will work. It may. But if it doesn't, this is why. Anyone can unzip his ROM to a folder. The simply look at the /system folder and /data folder and specifcally the app and he also has a sysapp folder too. A lot of customizing on his part. Just an FYI this may be an issue still for now.

Appreciate your headsup though since under normal circumstances, I would have done the same...referenced a gmail.apk file.

Edit: I see he changed to 3.2 and not sure Rod did the same with this version since I never installed or looked at it.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
This has been explained more than once. It's a known issue. It is NOT fixable as far as I know if you get that error on the current ROM. I offered alternatives. You can spend all day flashing kernels and adbing. It's currently broke on those that exhibit the problem. An update should be forthcoming soon, or use an alternative I posted.
