[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
The Infamous DocMark 3.6 Review

Let me say first off, this run just as nice as 3.5 and the same min0r issues with 3.5 are here in 3.6. I still use an alternate ThemeManger.apk file to fix the FC's. Mine is from 3.3 and other users here posts 3.4.1 apk. Either should work. Just understand how to use permissions correctly with root explorer as the easiest mean to fix. Second issue is shooting video in portrait mode. You end up with a 1.3 sized screen. Just try this ROD...to see this issue.

Install Instructions: I am goling to verbalize here a bit that there are other ways to do this and I will mention alternate methods at times. I do NOT recommend these methods. Feel free to use at your own time, expense, and risk. I prefer the old style true method way that has been 100% consistent for me.

I am a superclean install freak. Any number of users here can post alternate methods that worked for them, from installing on top, or just wiping, or installing another ROM, then installing this one, etc etc. I am posting my method. I don't have issues if other methods work for some users. ((had to say this, so others don't say how they only did so and so)

1. I use Gparted which is a linux Gnome editor for editing Partitions. I shutdown my phone, pull the card, place in sd card reader. Yes, I know users have done this in their phone. Again, I am posting MY method so please don't come back and say yadi da about mini home partitioning tool from windows and leaving card in phone. Too many unreliable issues I have run into using that method. I cannot recommend. Not saying it won't work for others.....

2. Since EXT2 appears to give the snappier and higher scores, I decided to partition going with Fat32, large EXT2, smaller EXT4, and 128Mb linux swap.

See my sig for my sizes I used. I have a 32GB Patriot Class 10 card. In addition...not required by anyone except if you happen to use my same SC card. Patriot states there have been some unexplained issues with the 32GB card. Their workaround fix is to set the default clusters from 4K to 32KB. I do this from my Windows machine administrative tools, computer management to change cluster size and I did in the past already.

a. The kernel controls the ability to use the c2sd or cache on SD card command that ROD now sets as default. In the past, it required EXT4 and we all know of the 3.5 issues that changed an install EXT4 to EXT2. Thus fast quad speeds , but impossible to run the c2sd command. Now, the kernel supports this no matter which EXT. I chose 2 only to compare with 3.5 earlier version. I am going to post my quadrant scores. Not as high as the 2700+ scores with an EXT2 and NO c2sd running, but still very reasonable. I typically see consistent mid 1700's as shown so far using the kernel Rod uses and setcpu maxed out and kernel governor set at performance. The ROM is super smooth, no lagging and NO FC, short of the ThemeManager already mentioned.

3. So I partitioned per my sig as well as reformatting my EXT's so that they too would be clean. I

4. I re-Ran my modded Format utility that formats 2x system, data and cache. See attached. It is NOT signed. Turn off sig verify before running. I even renamed to not signed :)

5.After format utility, run the wipes on AMON2.2.1 2x each. Now you are set to flash ROM clean.

Installation TIMES as follows:

Below is a record of sequence and timing it took for me to boot first time

The X on my screen lasted for 4 minutes and 10 seconds. The boot animation lasted 2 minutes 24 seconds till I got the choice of launcher. I prefer to use stock MIUI launcher so I checked that as to use default, otherwise it's annoying every time the home key is used to choose.

I posted my quick system info Pro screen shot showing various settings sized including cache and system useage size.

The black theme for me still has issues with rotation lagginess so I currently switched to Galaxy as a test and that fixed the lagg issue.

I have NO problems installing any apps from the market. And I do NOT currently use Titanium Backup, even though I actually have the fully fuctional Pro license
