How to Set up ROM

OK... here is my write up. So far it is acting just as I thought. Looks terrible with FC's galore on initial boot and I expected that, but on subsequent procedures I will outline, it's a go so far. I am also watching it boot up now after I installed an Iphone4glossy theme I get from the MIUI Developers web site and themes, specifically.

Edit: Didn't apply the music icon on bottom before posting screen shot. Just in case someone wants to bring this up...I did catch it and swapped the icons so messaging is on the desktop and music with the ipod looking icon is on bottom right.

I am currently running an EXT4 partition that was setup using Pmagic iso which can be googled and downloaded. Its a free Linux based Virtual Disc to boot from and uses Gpart for settings up your partitions scheme. Alternatively I also tested this with Amon Rec 2.2.1 I do NOT use clockwork although I am quite familiar with it and have used it in the past. But as I stated in a prior, the latest version 3 is NOT compatible and will cause problems with this ROM.

I used amon and all options starting with the wipe data factory reset. I basically wiped 5X using all the options such as wiping ext, wipe cache, wiping Dalvik-Cache etc. Yes, 5x.

1. First boot up took 5 min to get past Pendo's dancing android. When it reached a desktop if you can call it that, it showed multiple FC's. I expected that since I have seen this behaviour before. Do a three finger salute and reboot.

2. Your boot up time this time should be less then three minutes and you should see the touch here Android start screen.

Choose skip, then skip again, then next and you finally get a desktop. Use the power button and reboot normal. Your bootup time should be almost normal now of under two minutes, and it should boot to a lock screen at this point. If you do NOT have a lock screen, reboot again. You are actually gaining stability with these reboots. No, you will NOT have to constantly reboot later on. This is just to initially get the ROM stable. For those that think this guy is being weird regarding a ROM that gets more stable with time, in it's initial stages, it's a fact and I stand by this ;) :D

3. OK...if you have the lock screen, go to settings now after getting a desktop and setup your wifi.

4. Last reboot and now you should be OK to start setting up your ROM as you like it, but again, I don't try to rush this. A little at a time goes a long way for stability. I did apply the iPhone4glossy theme here and rebooted. Will show some screen shots including amount of free memory available on initial setup.

I have NOT flashed the recommended kernel yet but that's on my to do list also. Oh...as much as I like the Pendo boot animation, the apple logo during boot up is a kick to see also. Boot animations can be changed in any case if one wanted to, manually.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Read my write up. Rom works fine. Just takes a bit of time to set up correctly.
[Nexus One Android Development] hackermail:
Thanks. I will try that. :)

Market FC Fix

OK...First bug and I can confirm. I know this has been an issue in the past regarding Blue themed market and Moviestar here uses Blue themed market which Pendo uses (For those that do not know, Pendo is one super helluva Themer on XDA). I have been using his version I downloaded from his Thread on XDA and it look like it's the same that Moviestar used. Never had an issue, but it does the horrible FC no matter what I try. I basically pulled the latest Vending.apk from Formels just released MIUI ROM. It's a green version but at least it doesn't FC. But the trick is you need to either know how to adb pull/push or have Root Explorer which is what I use, to go to /system/apps and change the system from read only to read write and copy replace the vending.apk with the file I will attach here. Make sure you set the permissions on the file correctly too. If your familiar with root explorer looking at the file permissions you will see three vertical rows for check marks to enable read write and execute for user group and others.

Basically have check marks in the first vertical row so that read is enabled for user Group and Others. Have write enabled for User only. No other check marks. Back out, and change system back to read only. Do a hot reboot and market will now work, but it's green instead of Blue. No biggies for me, although hopefully Pendo can figure it out. Weird that his same apk works on the other D2whatever versions too. Anyways...hope that helps. I haven't tried but if you have Titanium Backup, you may be able to uninstall the original vending.apk and then push the version I am posting here, or root explorer or whatever you can do. Of course you don't have market access so you will have to be a little adept to working around this
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Blue Market Vending.apk

Sorry for any extra work created but I found a working Blue Themed market vending.apk that doesn't FC. Not as pretty as the transparent one from Pendo, but it works. So I remove the green file and replaced it with the Blue file in my last post. I saw one download from a user here. But for those that want a blue market, use the latest apk I just attached in my prior.
[Nexus One Android Development] erikclaw:
I kind of figured that out.....Clockwork 3x doesn't work with this ROM. I attempted last night to install the MIUI-AU the one you run and I got so confused following all the instructions that I gave up. Wasn't too sure what I was doing with some of the preparing steps. Maybe some other day if I understand all of this more. Thanks

What's the main difference between Formel and Movie MIUI roms?

I tried Formel's 1.2.11 and am trying SuperGingerbread's 2.6.8 now
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Well, Moviestars latest is the D2whatever. Formels is standard DarkTremor scripting for ext file management. That's a huge difference. In any case, Getting more INstability with moviestar. Trackball alert Pro throwing MD5 checksum failures. The alternative app called Blink, works but only when screen is off and does not have E-Mail/Gmail support yet. Going back to MIUI-AU

I can't get past the first boot. I tried everything in doc's write up. I am out of ideas to try. Any suggestions?
[Nexus One Android Development] aelole:
Hey

Would u recommend me a Class 10 sd card to use for D2w roms or class 6 is good enough?
[Nexus One Android Development] lcchan1:
I can't get past the boot - the dancing Android (the last 2 days), so I am going back to Formel's MIUI.
[Nexus One Android Development] Jesse6749:
I have gotten it past the dancing android but then even after trying Docs method too will start getting fc's all over the place. I too went back to Formel's rom for now :o.
[Nexus One Android Development] JeffR714:
I may be a layman well maybe not but any rom where you have to do this to get it to run sucks!!! I spent 1 hour on this and got nowhere! Wipe this do that 10 times!! Who puts a rom out there in this condition? Friggin' hardache Goin back to MIUI AU as well Unbelievable

Moviestar-MOD 15.0 HD DE/EN D2W

I'm sorry, but I have my MOD thoroughly tested before being uploaded!

It runs fine and without errors on my Nexus.

Makes your all a full wipe? I have before and never as a precaution even formatted my SD Card. And i have no Problem ;)

(Sorry for my bad english - google translator ;) )
[Nexus One Android Development] cvenk:
What the hell, I'll try it... I don't like to formated all the time and set it up all over again.

But I need it, couse this one works with my SE LIVEVIEW watch.
[Nexus One Android Development] ronbochan:
it is very stable and very fast -the best Rom

- backup SD Card

- create ext2 and convert it to ext3 and ext4 at 100MB per in Recovery

- put the backup and the Rom back to SD

- wipe all Options

- install the Rom

- Boot and enjoying

THANK YOU MOVI
[Nexus One Android Development] Jesse6749:
Moviestar - I did a full wipe 3 times and 3 different times before flashing and all 3 times I started getting launcher fc's constantly after restoring only my user apps.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Well, I have yet to weigh in. I will give it a go. That said, I have also been requested to try another ROM, that is not on a major list, but will give my opinions after I try that too. I am used to the major FC's on getting the D2whatever stuff to work. ANYWAYS....I'll BE BACK as Arnold would say in his best Terminator slang :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Hi...Well, to begin with, after initial install FC's on first boot, and letting this settle down as I have stated in the past, I feel your ROM so far is running pretty darn quick, responsive, and only ONE FC which went away after I rebooted. After installing Maps and trying to run it right away, it FC. I rebooted, got the welcome to maps and new stuff screen and it found my location in a blink.

I am posting Quadrant and Linpack screen shots. I did install SetCPU. I personally do NOT believe in Benchmarking. I would rather go on subjective how doe it feel. How do menus work. Etc etc. So far, this feels good. And any reboots take around 20-30 seconds. The dancing Android lasts at most 20 seconds on average and I get the lock screen. I basically followed my past FAQ's on installing. Only difference is this time, after initially wiping everything 3x, and flashing, I immediately before booting up, wiped Cache and Dalvik-Cache. Then flashed the ROM again on top of itself. Now I rebooted and got the ugly German FC screens. I expected that. I used a three finger salute reboot. This time I go the Android Touch here. Took about 5-6 minutes to get to this. I basically skipped skip next to a desktop. Reboot normal so I can get to a normal lockscreen. Now I setup wi fi and my display as I like it. I then rebooted again. Reboot took maybe a bit over one minute. Now I added Google account. Off to the market now to just get the benchmark stuff, Quadrant and Linpack only because some users here said slow performance or something like that. I don't know what the scores should be, since I just never do this. Only posting for others to see. Yeah, I know people will say something about ROD's rom gets so and so. I really don't care. Again, this is for reference only and subjectively, this is the fasted Boot for MIUI I have ever had and so far, no problems and very responsive.

To Jeff out there who I have been helping out....this just plain works. No idea why all the issues. Yes, it takes several boots for stability. Have stated that in my prior FAQ's on how I install.

PS...Used the MIUI built in screen shot volume down + menu...sorry for showing that ringer setting, but you can see the Mflops under the shadow. Normally use an app such as shoot me

EDIT: using stock MIUI Kernel so far. Have NOT tried any other kernel.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I guess it can be confusing to get these ROM's to work. Not sure why I or anyone here want to go the distance. It is kind of cutting edge stuff, which is my motivation.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Class 6 should be fine. I just wanted to upgrade to the best I could being the Class 10 32Gb Patriot. I still use my 16Gb Class 6
[Nexus One Android Development] cvenk:
allmost everything worked, but wifi would not connect to my router... Without that , there is no way I can survive. (did update to Gingerbreat leo, and wifi worked. )
[Nexus One Android Development] tina333:
Try flashing a different kernal, worked for me when I had the scanning...turning off loop :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Jesse6749:
Doc, I am Leary of Patriot, I have had problems with both of my class 4 16Gig Patriot cards and I am not sure if I will buy their cards again for a while. My File Mate 32Gig class 10 card has been working just fine so far and I had that for a month now.
[Nexus One Android Development] superlantern:
anyone getting german in the notification window after changing to english?
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Well I tested the card with a utility that was floating around and the necessary reading of some obscure setting that is accessible with root explorer also shows the card is working as advertised.
[Nexus One Android Development] Jesse6749:
It's weird both of the 16Gig cards would start getting corrupt sectors quite a bit to the point I could not format them. I Even tried Acronis Disk Director and even that had problems formatting or even repartitioning the cards :(:(:(.

Microphone issue?

Can someone confirm that the microphone bug has been resolved. Voice quality was seriously affected in the recent iterations of this MiUi ROM. Since then, I am running Rod's 2.6FIX that has no microphone bug. This is a deal breaker for me :)

Thank you for any input
[Nexus One Android Development] aelole:
Is the transparent market included on this release?
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
It's absolutly ridiculous to buy a new SD just for a rom!

Any SD card workd perfectly with any rom when it's not D2W, just download the app2sd version of this same rom and that's all

D2W has nothing but troubles compared to app2sd,it's an experimental option made by the MIUI team
[Nexus One Android Development] xrepo:
D2W ?

I have read some on D2W and am running an old version of moviestar 13.0

kernel 2.6.35.9. not the recommended kernel and have noticed that battery is not the best but the whole system works good. no fc's. always try and update but read the posts after the update comes out and since I have read a lot of negatives about the newer updates I have stayed with this older one. My question is. What will happen if I load the new 16.0 moviestar on my phone. I have never loaded any partitions <ext3.4 so when I do this will I lose all the data on the sd card. I have made a copy of the card on my laptop. But in the past it seemed a lot easier. Also what will I notice with this rom? speed?

thanks for advice.

Is the kernel I have ok with this older version also?
[Nexus One Android Development] cvenk:
OK, now i done like this:

-wiped everything twice

-install 16hd

-got a lot of FC

-factory reset and once more wiped everythnig.

ROM working like a glove! (perfect) - almost

I got the problem from 14 upword about EMAIL (exchange) NOT GMAIL, with the EMAIL.

I can not connect to my job server. (with other ROMs no problem)

Anyone have any idea!

Yes, I had to go searching on his German site, so a little translating and then came up with the link. I will repost this to OP also to fix for others....

Can you edit your FAQ to show this as the proper link for all the downloads.

http://www.multiupload.com/BGZPH367W8

But...MegaUpload site has not had the file since release. I did test other mirrors and they work.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Nice!!!

OK...have to admit, on all your prior D2Whatever ROMs had to deal with the mutiple FCing and rebooting and crossing fingers...This one, first...loved the new boot animation. First boot was maybe 4 minutes, but got a desktop with NO FC's. Basically adjusted my display, wifi log in and then I powered off. Then rebooted. The Android animation basically blinked his eyes TWICE, then I had a desktop. Maybe 30 seconds. First thing I noticed...the New app CPU tuner. Never saw this before. But nice to have a SetCPU replacement to try out.

The pull down notification bar has chinese after the second boot. I am going to reboot one more time. I imagine using a different theme will possibly fix that issue too. Not enough time now to put this thru it's paces, but I normally get a good general impression right away. This one seems to be outshine all the prior ROMs combined.

More to come.

Edit: What's the reason for having an App 2 SD Free application on a D2Whatever ROM? I see it has a clear cache function.

Edit#2: Theme Manager works fine. NO FC's. Changing theme did NOT change the chinese on the notification pull down bar with all the apps such as wifi, sync, bluetooth etc.

Edit#3 I guess it's just me talking to myself :) Theme manager does have strange issues. If I use file manager/explorer and and attempt to apply a theme that method, FC on thememanager. If I use thememanger directly, it will work, but it has problems seeing all of my locally downloaded themes in the MIUI/theme folder. This is a minor annoyance. Chinese in power shutdown and Notification pull down is another. The ROM itself is very fast, and so far no other issues. Quadrant scores have been all 1400's and even one 1500 I just ran, using Pershoots latest. I like the new CPU tuner applet, BTW.

Deal Breaker-No Edit Mode

Cannot enter in to editing mode. No way to add widgets etc. Long press home screens does nothing as does menu key and editing mode choice top menu does nothing :(

Really had high hopes since Rods has a font sizing issue preventing seeing the OK tabs etc when trying to add passwords. Cannot move icons around screen etc etc.
[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
Hello?

OK...Posted several comments 14 hours ago. I did spend a fair portion of time on this and would have thought a simple reply back would have gone a long way. Shame...since I thought this was one of the best potential versions to use on a daily basis. Chinese i could have dealt with. But the inability to edit home pages at all is a significant issue needing a repy. Oh well, off to another ROM I guess.

[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
I guess I'm you're only customer so far. Is there a reason you don't give me any feedback. I had a major problem with lack of capability to edit the home pages at all. Could not move icons nor load widgets etc. Was this confirmed as a bug. I see no references in the changelog. Anyways, downloading and will compare to the competition. I really thought the last version approached being a day to day ROM till I ran into the issue I posted.

Edit: Fast download using megaupload for anyone here listening. BTW...many of us that are evaluating all these variations really felt the X1partition version really had the fastest, smoothest and most potential, over and above a2sd (R versions) or D2Whatever. Have you any thoughts on that? Just curious. Anyways, going to nandroid backup current ROM and give it a go here. Hope to hear something back, so I can post to others also on the other MIUI threads here on XDA.

New MovieCamera App

This has to be the best neww possibly killer addition I have seen on the N1 since Buying the phone. I am getting FC's at times, but it may be a settings issue, or CPU boost, kernel all of the above. A major portion of the settings are in German. Can you post some translations and some guides to what settings ylou have tried are know to work. I may be picking on settings that are just to "out on the limits, for it to work"

If anyone else here can speak the language, PLEASE...load this ROM up and look at that MovieCamera app (MovieCam) to be specific. WOW, it's like looking on at a dedicated HD mini camera now.

EDIT: Well, way to unstable to use the ROM. I have tried several methods of install. Basically just starts a wave of FC's. Would be nice after two days to hear back from the developer. Guess it's not going to happen. The moviecam might be a great app, but the ROM is ridiculously unstable. Cannot recommend this at all, plus after two days ...no feedback. Why bother.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbxwolf:
The new version 17.2 I have installed it and must say this is the version of the d2w rom that I have been able to install. Seems all I had to do was remove the cache partition.

Only things that I am having issues with is the remaining language file translations. there is alot of german mixed with chinese still remaining.

example: plugged in USB and the popup that says Charge Only Mount SD Card is still in Chinese. The drop down status menu that has the power control flash light on it.. thats in german. I have selected english from the settings but its still there. No biggie as I already know what they are supposed to be just a heads up on it.

@all,

Support for this Rom only by www.miui-ger.de !!! ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] xrepo:
whats the problem????

When a new rom comes out I always start at the back of the thread and read all the comments. Every time I read about someone having problems, "This doesnt work, or all I get is force closes, or the camera has a blue tint. Give it a rest. These roms are great despite the small flaws.

I just loaded the latest 17.2 and have had no problems, in fact every rom I have loaded never has half the problems that I read about.

I do a nanback wipe the cache and delvik and install. On this rom since I came from 13 I did a full wipe and so far this rom is working great. Only thing missing is the weather on the fancy widget just got the clock. But I can live with that as the rest of it works great.

This nexus is a phone, a communicator. not a camera, or personal secretary, or a stereo. Its main design is a PHONE.the end.

All the add-ons are bonus. And try and remember what nexus was like out of the box compared to what we have now.\

Thanks moviestar for all the great hard work you have done.

Send me a Gmail Email so I can give you some good info on what I found on my own here :)

docmjldds@gmail.com

Personally, at first just like the prior, I had high hopes. But as usual, way way to unstable. One the FC's start, they come at you in a flurry. My temporary fix was recovery, delete cache and dalvik and reboot, or delete cache and dalvik then reflash on top.

Anyways, the ROM is just too unstable, but I did get a choice tid bit from my experience that i will only share with close friends. Sorry....you qualify.

PS..have to take my daughter out this morning to take her DMV test for learners permit. If she passes, I may not make it home for a while :)

EDIT...well, it's out in the open now...no reason for the gmail. I decided I could not live with serious issues here. Maybe i am wrong. I hope I am wrong. I do NOT mind apologizing for being wrong. But I will wait and see.....
