[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
DocMarks Fixes and Review

EDIT: TWICE I have tried to offer an alternative to a2sd but what used to work on other MIUI mods does not want to work here, so I am stating that the theme issue is causing the mic mute problems, but I would wait for ROD to offer more insight. I was going to delete this, but it was just too elegant for what used to work on MIUI ROMs from months ago, believe it or not. I will leave my post here, but I would NOT advise using the data2sd conversions scripts. I would still change out the theme if you want to try using this version of Rods 3.1 and want to get past mic issues and muted calls.

Be advised...BELOW IS EXPERIMENTAL and buggier than originally intended.!!!

I am going to give my thoughts on issues with this ROM. If one follows my logic, they will have a sweet running setup. First and Foremost...the Black theme is buggy, IMHO. I have proven this to myself a number of repeat installs. This theme is the original route of the MIC or mute problems with calls. If one changes the theme, then reboots, then the mute issues are fixed. Has nothing to do with enabling any settings in phone app, whether one sees the enable third part apps in the older settings.apk that is still on other ROMs such as Formels, or the newer settings that Rod is using that has an enable recording capability that some say is the fix. The fix is change the theme, reboot and calls will NOT be mute. One can re-enable the black theme if they look at the ROM and unzip the file and pull out default.mtz from the system folder, but on my setup, the black theme also causes laggs for me. As soon as I changed theme, the phone acts like it was on speed. So much more responsiveness and no more lagging.

Next...some users here including me, have had issues with the a2sd memory stuff not acting according to plan. I had a ton of issues with having the right amount of free internal space. One user here reported only 20Mb free on his setup. I am going to post how to use data2sd, another form of apps on your ext partition that is like D2W or D2Whatever or X-Partition, a way that uses the complete ext to act as a source of Free Internal space. This way, for instance I have a 1Gb ext and have over 800MB of free space for apps, instead of the 196MB hardware limit that the N1 has for the /data partition, which is what provides the free internal space when you look at settings, system tab, about phone. See attached screen shot:

I have 843MB free right now.

Below is a small faq on what files I am using and how to install.

1. First...a super clean install is absolute needed. No shortcuts. Use the format.zip utility and flash twice to double format each time, boot, system, data, and cache. Then use amon2.2.1 and NOT clockwork to wipe all options twice more, factory reset, data, cache, ext, and dalvik-cache.

Now I will post the files I used and a link to read up. Basically wipe clean. Flash the rom. Boot up to a desktop and don't do anything but reboot to recovery and run the kill file first, then the installer for data2sd, then reboot. The ROM will be terribly laggy until you can change that dark theme out for any other theme of choice. Once you do that, the speed will drastically pick up for this ROM. I currently am still on stock kernel, but used setCPU to bumpit up a little initially just to change the theme a little easier since it will lag on screens till you can change it out. I used a file manager instead of the them manager to initial click on a theme .mtz file since the theme manager also had a long delay in openeing.

Themes apply themselves without a reboot now...BUT>>>IMPORTANT>>>>REBOOT after applying a theme to have the call mute issues fixed.

Good luck. Will be gone a few hours this morning to take my wife to follow up cardiac appointments for those that know of my personal issues the last couple of days so sorry if there are any urgent questions. Hopefully all is explained here.

Obviously have these files on your SD card to be ready to flash after the first initial boot up then reboot to recovery.
