Yes...If you want to have the ability to run a2sd datasd, then you need beta 4. The earlier file did NOT have this ability. And I intentionally run the first older, then upgrade flash the second on top, because on some roms, the beta doesn't work correctly. This is a way to fix this issue of compatibility. It likes the upgrade but doesn't like the clean install. Backwards intuitive thinking, but that's the way it is.

[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Something not right. Has to reboot after running cachesd. Are you using the Format utility and following my install FAQ verbatim. This has worked consistently for me as well as NOW others that are following along. Sorry to question you on this. But any shortcuts by trying to retain prior installs will most likely kill chances of success. Not trying to come across as arrogant. Please, even if you did follow exactly, try again. Use the format.zip flash twice in a row. Then twice or three times for wipes of everything associated with partitions and DO NOT use Clockwork. Amon 2.2.1 is a necessity, in case this last bit was the one thing. I may not have reinforced this enough.

thanks for the quick reply

thanks Doc ,i followed your steps and is running fine so far. hey guys any recommendations on the kernel ,which one is the best one of all of them,or the stock miui version ?
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Look back a page or two for my posts. Don't reinstall till you have a solid grasp. That format utility just actually helped one of my nandriod backups that failed. I ran the utility and wiped all the partitions again, and then a failed nandroid backup worked. I list exactly how to install.

[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
It's really hard to give kernel advice since everyone's setup is so different. Plus these ROM's change out weekly. By the time you spend any effort working with one, there's something new to try. If you search out a thread referencing Viperboy on XDA, he has a hack for working with Under volting more than the average other kernel cooker, but the hack requires a kernel specific enough to work...HAVS is a requirement. Tiamat for sure has this. You need to research the others. Rod lists sources on page one I believe. Best to lurk around and jusr read and get a feel. On MIUI-DEV there is a specific thread running regarding kernels and MIUI by bloodflame. That thread makes for good reading. You might want to go looking there.
[Nexus One Android Development] iammbox:
yup, still not working for me.

i used amon RA, got all the DT zips

followed all your instructions, (used the format utility)

and im still getting the same problem.

i guess i'll just wait for an automatic fix

thanks for the help doc
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Hmmm...one last shot that you can try. If the EXT partition is wasted somehow, this is going to be an ongoing issue. You may want to consider backing up any files from SD to PC. Then reformat the card. Were you setup with EXT3 or 4 and what size, out of curiosity.
[Nexus One Android Development] iammbox:
i'll try that. as for EXT3 or 4 i have no idea what that is or means :confused:

its sandisk 4gb
[Nexus One Android Development] l3nnon:
I can confirm that after following Rod a2sd way, it will lost lot of apps. Waiting for Rod to fix this.overall no problem at all beside that
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
You just answered why this isn't working if you never setup your EXT partition. This is where your apps will actually be loaded. Instead of using up your Phones Internal memory, they go there :)

No EXT, then failure to mount message you posted!!!!

Backup your card. IOW copy everything from your card to a folder of choi8ce on your PC.

Boot to recovery. Using amon2.2.1, scroll recovery to partition menu. This WILL erase everything on your card so make sure anything you want, such as pix in your DCIM folder is saved.

First choice when you start the process is swap size. Use trackball to set to 0. Next is EXT size. You only have a 4Gb card which is not that much space. (I'm using a 32GB card :) I would setup an ext of 750MB or so. So you use the trackball and pick a number close to that. Doesn't have to be exact. Some other ROMs need at least 750 to run, so this is a good size. After setting that, it will say the rest goes to Fat32. You then OK and it will format the card using a zero sized swap file, 750MB EXT2 (it's an ext2 for now) and the rest fat32. When finished, use the trackball to menu upgrade from EXT2 to EXT3. Then do this. It only takes a few seconds for that. NOW....you are ready to use the FAQ again. Go back in recovery menu and enable USB to be able to copy the ROM to flash along with the necessary files to install. This SHOULD work now.....

Edit: taking a break. Read up and make sure you have a feel for this. I think you were biting off more than you thought, if you didn't know what EXT referred to :)
[Nexus One Android Development] iammbox:
Alright thanks for the help and info.

Ill tackle this after work. In the meantime I have some reading to do at work
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
after 30 minutes of playing with a2sd, I finally got 120 MB (after I restored almost 260 apps), before the restore, it shown 150 MB.

I am testing the rom now (after almost 2 days of figured out the a2sd issue).

The rom is fast, smooth and I will check on the battery tonight.

I can reclaim the spaces around 174m but just missing those application. I can saw those application in manage application under all category. With Doc way I knew would be ok. Just wish Rod fix it to make this Rom Perfect
[Nexus One Android Development] Neo.Collin:
DOC:You are so sweet :) - could also use a2sd GUI by Darktremor in market to do the above as well..... but its not perfect..... (GUI works after creating sd-ext)

There is tons of reading material if u want to do anything..... no information is consolidated in any place.... I like it that way.... The more you read, the more you understand what it is and you will be at ease while doing it.... I guess most of the issues happen because people JUST DON'T READ... they do the steps and then keep asking questions..... I spent an entire week reading all material on SD-EXT and D2SD topics in XDA and google... helped a lot and now I know exactly what I'm doing.....

I love android :)
[Nexus One Android Development] iammbox:
doc, THANK YOU for your patience and your explanations.

all has worked :D!
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
+1 the rom is smooth and fairly fast. That said, after your earlier comment about how CM 7 is sounding now with wonk issues gone, I was looking at the nighltlies thread and found a specific mod a user post as a full ROM that includes the wonk fix as well as another hack that eliminates the typical 2 secomd delay when first talking and hearing your caller.

The reference below leaves off the original founder of the hacks. IOW it get confusing on who found or did what. I'm only posting a link to grab the complete ROM and it has to be the fastest smoothest ROM I have used to date. + I have my needs working terrifically.

please add greek language thanks for this rom
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
No way to implement any sort of separate bug tracking here. If you want to be a part of a methodology that does this on a normal basis, then I would suggest MIUI-DEV: http://forums.miuiandroid.com/forumdisplay.php?15-Google-Nexus-One

In fact 1.5.20 released today. Just noticed. That is a stock release and threads include bug tracking etc. New releases every Friday. But this is akin to AOSP or plain Jane and stock MIUI where you flash the ROM first then flash the language pack. Many time there will be subsequent updates etc. Different structure than following along a custom ROM as Rod puts out. Rod will use these weekly releases, then repackage into a customization he places. Does that help?

The current ROM here is based on last weeks 1.5.13 release.
[Nexus One Android Development] typica1cat:
Thanks very much Doc, I appreciate your help on the matter!

Hey Rod!!

I have to troubles with this rom...

1) The ring sound is to low

2) The data internet is not working properly

Anyone else?
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Not running Rods right now to see the exact issue. Many times users uninstall an app and then redownload from the market as a means to a fix. Or use an app like Titanium backup to uninstall a current app and then either redownload the app from the market and try that way, or use Titanium Backup to possibly install a prior version. Just offering food for thought since again, nit currently booted up to Rod's ROM. BTW, if you search the last few pages, I have offered a sort of FAQ on installation using a super clean method. Possibly doing that will fix the issue.
[Nexus One Android Development] typica1cat:
Update: Reinstall + reboot fixed this issue for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Several suggestions. First, seems the latest versions of MIUI use a stock set of bland ogg files for ringtones and notifications. I usually make up a stock folder of ringtones and another for notifications. Then look at the system folder, and media, audio subfolders and this is where you can customize whatever you like to add or use. (Audio subfolder specifically). Also use the 1.6Volume hack. Not sure it's on his ROM but it's on XDA threads. Have to take daughter to school now. Other issue, maybe is ROM specific here. Later..
[Nexus One Android Development] superlantern:
I am done with this build I have tried all day to get a2sd working right at all point I almost have it following Docs faq - minus the datasd step and everytime I get most of my apps back then the rest fail to install and when redownloaded from the market installation fails.
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
I believe the a2sd failure is MIUI related (not totally Rod's), because I started having the a2sd problem since 1.5.13 (and 1.5.20 too) on stock, Formel and Rod's, just can't get those internal memory back no matter how I tried - I am floating around 40 MB now (normally I should have at least 120).
[Nexus One Android Development] gui.aguiar:

You just have to follow Doc's tutorial to resolve the a2sd problem....

[Nexus One Android Development] sebastie:
ring volume is very soft even though at max volume..
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
They tried and I guess too many side problems. I didn't have time today, but I wanted to try and get the data2ext version running which uses the whole EXT. That way one can basically download the whole Android marketplace and probably still have room.... well almost :) I know MIUI-DEV release a newer base. Have not looked at this time to even see if and what the bugs with that are, so my bad if it's a terrible version and I am talking about it. I downloaded it this morning, then had my own Cardiology once per year workup to do.

I have successfully installed the dat2ext scripting on CM7u and MIUI-DEV version. I have had minor success only with customized ROMs, so maybe, one would end up adding on Rod's customizations after the fact if they wanted to go the distance.

The pros include a humongous amount of memory for apps...basically your entire EXT, much like D2W ROMS but without the lagging associated with D2W, although I have to say that I was and still impressed with Moviestars 8.3 D2W ROM which was a solid version with very little lag. On CM7 I actually had a record 2600+ Quadrant score too, so the scripting really adds some pep to the ROM.

When working...there are no cons to report. My limited success with this and ROds was that a majority of his add on apps showed up on the home screens as generic icons and basically not installed. But when trying to either uninstall something that didn't exist or reinstall on top of those apps, I was NOT successful.

Not sure why some users here still had issues with getting enoght memory back following my suggestions. Only thing I can think of is some sore of SD card corruption going on messing up the symlinking possibly, and short of a complete reformat, I would just wait. Just ramblling here. Sorry for the wondering reply.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I know you did which is why I'm not going to make any bones about abilities here. I keep a spare SD card around, so that I can go the ultimate distance at times with a total reformat to prove to my self that I really have nothing I left out. For those like me that are seriously addicted to flashing, it makes sense to have a second card. I know this is costly for a majority. Just a thought for those that can afford it. Beats waiting for backups and reinstalls.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Please go back and read my reply #8694. Just go back to any number of older ROMs and unzip the file. Usually you will find ringtones and notifications in /system/media/audio folder. The MP3 files are generally a bit lower in quality, but much smaller in size and louder. There is also a hack here on XDA that will increase the volume, besides using an audioboost kernel.

Go real easy using this app. It does work and using the high settings will cause really ugly distortion.

One caveat I have not mentioned to mall. System partition has a finite 145Mb size and system is generally where apps associated with a rom install go. If you copy over too many sound files, you will lose room. I usually dlete ALL the OGG files since I don't like them, then I have a stock folder of Ringtones as well as Notifications I use. Place them in the subfolder and now you will have decent and much louder ringtones/notifications.
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
I tried the D2W today (after I exhausted with a2sd on the latest MIUI) on stock and Rod's rom, both are very laggy for me. I got all the space (over 500 MB), but the lag drove me back to a2sd (with 50 MB).
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
Doc, I did use a brand new SD card, I think the a2sd problem is related to MIUi 1.5.13 and later. I never had this kind of problems on (any rom) until now.

Normally I can make it work after 2 or 3 tries, but this time, 2-3 days later, still going no where.
[Nexus One Android Development] sebastie:
the rom is real smooth and fast, but after the a2sd settings... The whole rom is crawling, and my smses are facing very slow responses when receiving (note, I have 13000++ smses). Guess A2SD is not stable for this rom yet.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I agree. I see more posts about a2sd issues. But...many users are totally confusing how a2sd works and Internal vs External phone memory and Phone RAM available mixed up with phone space available. Or users trying to physically use manage applications and move an app from Phone to SD card which is in no way the same as using a2sd scripting. Basically the manual method of moving is akin to the Froyo manual method. The only advantage to that is you only need a Fat32 and no ext. Which also brings up a few users not knowing anything about ext 3 or 4 etc. I then start to shake my head. Start to write a page long diatribe, and then stop myself and just say the heck with it. Too much trouble sometimes. :(

I'm absolutely loving this ROM! I love the theme, I love that you replaced the MIUI search with Google search, I love everything about it. My auto rotate is working really slow, but it was doing that on the stock 1.5.20 build as well so maybe that's an MIUI issue altogether. Anyone found a way to speed the rotate up a little bit?
