Welcome. What's nice is cooking a stock apk, so incase one gets too wild with this stuff, they can go back to stock or starting blocks instead of starting over from scratch. I'm not a believer at all in benchmarking. Like you, if it feels good and runs good, then it IS good. I only posted the quadrant score to prove a point regarding MIUI and Quadrant scores being optimized, and I was also getting those same scores on MIUI-AU there on XDA and the D2whatever as well as the XPartition ROMS.

I actually was able to reproduce the consistent 800 scores using the stock ROM and looking at RODs customizations and applying a slew of them. The quadrants slowed down to below 1000 and camcorder would hang. Only problem is I could NOT point a finger to any single customization or change. IOW, miuicamera.apk files are different. Mms.apk files are different. Changes in build.prop. Etc etc. I was trying to be scientific to figure out the why the scores were going down, and was elated to all of a sudden get those lower scores, but changing back to stock files one by one made no difference. Has to be a weird combination of factors.

Anyways, I think we actually agree on this stuff, so I will let this go for now.

My only comment is that stock files and taking a little time and effort can produce a stable product that is still highly customized at the same time. I guess I get a my own satisfaction from this. I can also see how others would love to just use a ROM, install it, then go wow and blow off their iPhone friends, like I love to do :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Oy vay...as my mother would say. In a short nutshell, The Nexus One has a fixed /data partition size of 196MB. This is a hardware set number. So when you use settings: the system tab in MIUI and look at "about Phone" you will see free Internal memory. That number will be normally something less than 196MB. The /data partition is generally where apps you install will go. So the more apps you install, the less free Internal memory you will have. Now, there are various flavors of apps to your SD card. The old Cyanogen type often referred to a2sd+, which worked in the background along with an install EXT partition, normally formatted as EXT3 or EXT4. Enter the Froyo method of placing apps on your SD card and this method although works, has all sorts of limitations from widgets not working on the SD card or launchers installed or moved to SD card causing crashes or what not. Now we have the more refined DarkTremor method that uses scripting for zip aligning, placing cache on your SD and the latest beta methods of actually moving /data/data to your sd. Still, even with DarkTremor, you have a 196MB limitation to start with, and again, when one used to look at settings sdcard and Phone storage on the other ROMs or settings , system tab, about phone here, you will see your Internal Free memory.

Lastly, with D2whatever, it takes your whole EXT and uses THAT for Free Internal memory. So, if you format your SD card using a 1GB EXT3 and the rest fat32, after setting up a D2whatever ROM, you will now see a humongous amount of free Internal Memory available. Generally .90GB to start with assuming you formatted your SD card with a 1GB sized EXT.

I guess I'm scratching my head right now for having to explain this, but I hope this helps. I wrote this out really fast. I have basically in the past written more extensive as well as basic FAQ's on this. Google is your best friend. You should really use it now :D;) Best....

A2sd ROMs use DarkTremor scripting commands, to set up the ROM, symlinking etc etc to basically employ that means of file management of how you add apps to your system. D2whatever does all of this with no user input, no scripting commands, which is why the OP says to NOT use those commands here. You can almost install the whole market to your phone. (Just kidding) Again, please read up on this more, before you dive in. The better you understand this stuff will be the better your overall user experience will be.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Much appreciated for the response, anyone who needs knowledge on this situation can learn from reading what you wrote.

In a nutshell, all I needed was "D2whatever does all of this with no user input, no scripting commands" more or less.

I didn't realize if the ROM is set up to use D2whatever, it automatically uses it without any input. That's where I was lost :p
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I find that when I say in a nutshell and write a nutshell, I end up explaining more in subsequent posts. That's why I typically write a book on this particular subject. I would venture that the average user really is helped with more information then less, and there are tons of those out there that are basically reading and guessing at stuff, instead of asking. I don't mind giving the long version if it helps others too.

<<<back to topic>>>

So is there a work around for the camcorder yet? :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Camcorder works fine for me. No issues at all ....

Edit; I was eating my Oreos with a fine home brew cappuccino as I read your post :)

I was unsuccessful in doing a clean wipe and installing 2.7. I was getting the framework FC's and FC's throughout first boot and other reboots. I Ended up going to the MIUI-AU forum and downloaded the .19 ROM and english pack and everything seems to be running fine. My quadrent score is 1617 with WM kernal.

Another thing that was a surprise was that ALL of my apps were restored via google cloud which has never done before.
[Nexus One Android Development] Jesse6749:
I have been running MIUI AU .19 for 2 days now with no issues at all and no lag to speak of either.
[Nexus One Android Development] bori1030:
hi does any one have the 2.6 download?... would much appreciate it! Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] stewroids:
I'm using the stock Kernel that came with the ROM and my battery is 35% after 17 hours (with moderate use). Is anyone using Wildmonk's Kernel and having a better battery life?
[Nexus One Android Development] @rj*n:
Gingerbread is on the air for Nexus One- I hope we can get some sweet confectionery love from MIUI *fingers crossed* :D

[Nexus One Android Development] fer5437:
can i install busybox latest version to run with this ROM?
[Nexus One Android Development] sikra:
Thank u, works like a charm. But the automatic brightness does not work

well, may just too sensitive or to quick. Or just Miui problem.

tks Rod once again... btw, what do u mean by D2W is optional. how do we choose?

2.7.1 is A2SD, does that mean we need to enable it thru terminal commands?

shld we repartition our SD again for this version? (2.7.1)
[Nexus One Android Development] kpjimmy:
I do see the links are off at this moment. Rod probably cooking a fix. Check back later. Rod usually comes into the thread and tells us that it's either uploading or done.
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
there are separate roms, one for a2sd and one for d2w, pick your choice.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Yes......you can

2.7 Issues A2SD D2W

So, I've been using Rod's MIUI for quite some time now. I'm a huge fan! I've reinstalled 2.7 with complete wipes a few times now and am having several issues. The phone seems pretty sluggish, particular to the SMS application. The pop-up notifications hang in limbo. Multi-tasking seems sluggish also. I just wanted to voice the few problems I've experienced.

Also, I was wondering if someone can shed some light about A2SD and D2W. I've never used either before but would defiantly like to start. I'm usually always flashing ROMs and it would be nice to have my favorite APPs stored somewhere else so I don't have to keep re-downloading them. If someone could show me the easiest way to enable A2SD I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance - keep up the good work Rod!
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
2DW is an invention of the Chinese from MIUI, I never understood the advantages but all I know it's compatible with a very few SDHC cards, A2SD is brillant if you use Ext3 or 4 and is compatible with 99% of SDHC, so pick a2sd if your rom is slow and buggy
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
stay with a2sd for now, unless you have a sd card that can handle the d2w (I guess as I could not get it to work with mine).
[Nexus One Android Development] l3nnon:
D2W really not that stable.been using it for the 3rd day now.start got force close with framework problem again. Can't wait to wipe everything off to the latest 2.7.1

A2SD You guys always partition with 512? 1gb is it stable?
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
I am using 1 GB on my a2sd, it's fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] Stuart.upton666:
There seems to be a problem with the link to download the english version...Anybody have a mirror?
[Nexus One Android Development] superlantern:
Rod have you considered data2ext? Similar to d2w but seems stable
[Nexus One Android Development] krokiller:
Sorry? You kidding Rod? I'm so happy now and can't wait to flash new ROM. Hope it's fast and rock stable again. :-) Thank you for your great job and listening us Rod!
[Nexus One Android Development] rodigezstyle:
Sorry for the Delay but v2.7.1 is Online Now !!!
[Nexus One Android Development] bluezz:
Isn't multiupload link supposed to host the English version?

The file being hosted is: "RoDrIgUeZsTyLe_MIUI-MOD_V2.7.1_A2SD_GERMAN_NEXUSONE.zip"
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Speaking from experience of other English German Roms, both are the same. You can flash, then pick US English and the ROM should be 100% English. At least that's what has worked on MIUI-AU here on XDA....

Edit:

Downloading now. I'll prove a point that the German download will work same...just pick English. Back in a few.
[Nexus One Android Development] bluezz:
You were right! Changed the language at the first setup screen and voila!

edit: On second thought :( some bits of the taskbar pulldown is in german even after selecting English on the first screen
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Reboot and what happens. Or change to another theme and what happens.

I'm about to wipe my setup but doing a Nandroid first. I'll check back here to see replies

Edit: It's 100% English. Read the OP FAQ. YOU have to reboot to set this up correctly. The Notification changes to 100% English after you reboot, and this is absolutely required to set the ROM up correctly.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Testing this out now. You need to post FAQ that the German Version will work fine, just follow directions and reboot after initially verifying you choose English.
[Nexus One Android Development] kpjimmy:
I am guessing a complete wipe will be required because the rom is no longer using d2w? I guess I can nandroid and flash to check hehe...
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
great tks. let us know ur result. i m wondering if we shld re-partition our SD too
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Its NOT D2W. Just a2sd. I had an FC...or NOT Responding would be better choice using on board Terminal. I have Better Terminal app purchased and used that. Did an a2sd cachesd and the reboot animation is going on three minutes. OK....getting my desktop. Goes from 131MB to 181MB Free Internal memory. But still cannot use the onboard Terminal. I don't use that, but for others, maybe an uninstall and redownload from market as a choice. I prefer using my Better Terminal. Just be prepared for a long reboot when initially moving cache to sd
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
No need to reformat Partition. Mine was setup using EXT4 1.5GB size and a 128MB swap and the rest Fat32. I was using The XPartition setup along wiht an experimental apps2sd+ on a GB ROM, so I left the partition scheme. So far this puppy is working fine. Camera shot with flash in my kitchen. A standard test shot I always do. In the past...maybe 880KB size. This time with Panoramic setting...1.8Mb size. Definitely way better images. Tested a 1 min 720p camcorder. No problems. MIUI gallery POPs. And can I say this louder...It screams. I have over 400 jpgs. Maybe 30 or more of those little dots representing pages. They all instantly populated. None of the prior lagging waiting for the pictures to slowly show up. And I have a fast class 10 32GB card. Hold a lot, but the more information it holds, usually the longer it initially took on prior ROMs to populate the pages. This is instant!!

Edit: Not much of a quadrant person. Rather go on how the rom feels. It feels pretty sweet. But here is score with SetCPU pushing to the max, performance Governor

Can't update Gmail app with RoDrIgUeZsTyLe MIUIMOD V2.7.1.
[Nexus One Android Development] MrCDWJR:
edit: nvm i did it the way the guy below this post suggested
[Nexus One Android Development] Jesse6749:
I did it by first uninstalling gmail, rebooted the phone then tried installing it again and it worked.

Sent from my HTC Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I was able to update. Not easy to do, but here's how and I have 2.3.4 version running. Installed was 2.3.2

I used Titanium Backup and uninstalled. Then I copied the original apk file I extracted from Rod's rom to /data/apps instead of system apps. Rebooted. Went to market and update was successfull
[Nexus One Android Development] rodigezstyle:
yes that´s true G-mail & Terminal is Fixed in the next version...
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I tried that first and didn't install. So I went the next route of uninstalling, pushing to data, then updating. I would rather have gmail running as a data app anyways, but Rod said he fixed so no biggie. Off to try D2 MIUI-AU now....
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Which will be posted when I probably finish nandroiding here, installing D2W another ROM, then coming back to here to check what's up :eek::eek::eek:
[Nexus One Android Development] ferid:
I am currently using 2.5.3

If I want to update to the latest version, do I need to do a full wipe or can I just update to the latest rom?
[Nexus One Android Development] rodigezstyle:
make a Nanbackup and Try maybe works but a clean install would be better..
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Back from MIUI-AU D2whatever. Not ready for Prime time at all. Should not have been posted, IMHO. My only issue with 2.7.1 here so far was I had installed the MIUI digital clock widget that is a knock off of Beautiful widget or fancy Widget. I liked it even though i have paid versions of others. Phone was sleeping for a few hours since I first installed and the app refused to wake up or respond correctly. I ended up uninstalling it, then reinstalling it. So far all OK. Not sure if it's the app's fault or something else. Just reporting the issue, besides Terminal and Gmail you already know about. I am keeping beautiful widgets off for now, since it seems to add stability issues lately, to all flavors of MIUI.
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
Hi there,

1 question, coz i m a newbie with titanium backup. i want to upgrade to 2.7.1 from 2.7 (D2W to A2SD+)

under titanium backup, can i RUN 'Backup all user apps + system data' for this upgrade, then RUN 'Restore all apps with data'?

will the "data" messes up the a2sd+?

hope everyone understand what i m trying to ask... tks in advance
[Nexus One Android Development] ronbochan:
at xda you are the best Rod,

THANK YOU .

Anyone having an issue adding their google account after wipe?

Mine is complaining about connection to the server... Twitter, facebook and whatsapp accounts add OK as is general internet connectivity

EDIT: Must have been a google glitch, friend has issues with GTalk but my account has added now.
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
pls help guys... can u all able to move the dalvik cache to SD card?
[Nexus One Android Development] kpjimmy:
Themes work for me. Well you have to figure the base version of Rod's MIUI as well. I think there are some themeing issues within this version. I have been using EliteHD and works well with this ROM. I have been using it since 2.5 here without a glitch.

As for reporting back here regarding 2.7.1, I have to admit it is indeedy a bit more stable, even though my setup with D2W was "OK". I really didn't have major issues that some here had and it was my daily driver rom since this version came out. I did a FULL DATA wipe and flashed and did not repartition the SD card.

Like others have experienced, gmail and terminal either did not download/update via market and fc'ing respectively. For gmail I used titanium backup to uninstall, reboot and installed from the market. I assume that is the case with the terminal, but I don't use it so it's not a dealbreaker for me. I can live with it :P

Camera and camcorder works. 720 recording works without a hiccup as well.
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
try reboot and run a2sd check, then a2sd cachesd
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
You are misinterpreting what youare seeing for errors. Simple test. Go to settings system tab and then about phone. How much Free Internal memory do you see. If you have not gone crazy installing too many apps, should be 155MB or higher. On a new install with no personal apps loaded yet, i typically see 180Mb free, up from the stock 130Mb free after running the a2sd cachesd command. If you ran that command and it rebooted, then it worked. if it did NOT reboot, then you do have a legit error. So....how much free internal is showing. And also, what is the size of your EXT and is it ext 3 or 4. After looking at about phone, go back to settings system tab at bottom, then click on SD card settings. Whats the info you see. My setup uses approx 1.5Gb ext3. So at bottom it says A2SD+ total space 1.34GB and available 1.15GB. If you see A2Sd+ numbers that are not or near zero, then this is another indicator you are setup correctly. Not going to get into using Root explorer or commands to check symlinking etc. This should give you a quick and easy method to know all is well. Stock installs generally give up to 130Mb free. Running darkT commands for moving dalvik-cache to sd gives another 50Mb. If you go to the latest DarkT Beta 4 release, that moves /data/data to your SD card and ypou can get in the low 190's on initial install with no other apps installed, using a2sd datasd command. Won't work, unless you flash to the newer beta DarkT.

Hope that helps
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Theme manager works, but I typically make sure the theme I want to use has a .mtz file extension. Absolutely required. You can rename the older .zip files to .mtz

I then use file explorer, click on the .mtz file, and then hit apply. You should see it taking 30-60 seconds or so installing the files, then it should reboot. If it FC's before finishing, this usually will still work. Just manually reboot and it will usually have the installed theme.
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
Thanks very much for the explanation. it helps but too late coz i already resolved the problem the hard way.

i didnt misinterpret anything. i saw int. mem with only 25mb, so i checked a2sd check and it showed Dalvik running in internal. i launched a2sd cachesd but it didnt perform the move of the cache to SD (and with the error i posted earlier) and just rebooted my phone. a tried a few times, but still same. therefore i posted here, however, while waiting for nice ppl like u for help ;), i repartitioned my SD again and installed everything from scratch. after the phone has been rebooted a few times, i saw that int. mem got back to ard 125mb and a2sd+ to ard 550mb (with 1G ext3). i launched a2sd check and it showed that Dalvik runs on SD. its strange coz i didnt launch any a2sd cachesd... now everything seems to be normal i think my phone shld now be running smoothly...

tks for ur explanation, really appreciate ur time!
[Nexus One Android Development] gui.aguiar:
Wow! I installed Rod's last version with D2W and it's excelent!!!!

I had just two problems: It's missing gallery app (there is just Miui Gallery) and I can't update gmail app.

Anyone?
[Nexus One Android Development] chris4chelsea:
check out post 7740 for gmail app and for gallery, i think rod removed it. just grab one of those old rom and pull the gallery.apk and install... that shld do the job
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
With cachesd command you really should be over 175Mb Free or so to start. I have maybe 50 apps installed now and still have 172MB free Internal. Sometimes, another method to fix, is to reflash the DarkT script that's here on XDA. I gotta run out, but do a google search for this: dtapps2sd-2.7.5.2-1-signed.zip

This is the latest stable non beta I would suggest. The later beta 4 that also moves /data/data to sd hangs on my setup. I had a similar issue about an error pointing to ruuning the repair command that basically never seems to work :)

Best fix....wipe cache and Dalvik-Cache from recovery. Flash the Dark T script. On boot up, go to terminal, then su, then the typical commands to a2sd check....a2sd zipalign, a2sd cachesd and will be all fixed. I intentionally earlier today wanted to prove a method to get darkT running correctly and this was a method after I intentionally made my setup crash regarding darkT scripting. I like to find methods that can bail one out of a situation to save time. Anyways...if it ever occurs again, give this a try. Really is fast and quick.
