Hello all.

I used this tool and did all the stuff mentioned here but now, when I boot in recovery, my phone doesn't mount my sd! I think I made a stupid mistake but don't know what? Need help!! I wanna go from a2sd to xpart.

For ver 1.8.12, battery use seems to be broken.

The 'uptime' doesn't reset after a recharge but continues to count.

Can some confirm this?

Thanks.

Other thing I see is that wifi performance is a big step forward from what I've tried before. Some bad black sports in the house that always gave problems and this seems to hold onto the signal much better.
[Desire Android Development] sjknight413:
Tweak for you guys!

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=260

Add it to the end of your build.prop, reboot and observe the difference ;)

EDIT: Also,

debug.sf.hw=1

debug.composition.type=hw

^those two combined make a huge difference!

Moved to Xpart. MIUI backup covered everything except widgets (not a big deal) :)

Everything seems to work fine except Angry birds / Rio both FC. reinstalled them from market. fixed. testing rest of the apps now. Whatsapp is also working fine (I rely too much on WA (as someone else said earlier in thread) for communication as I have to travel alot, to different countries so I would have switched back to A2SD if Whatsapp didn't work)

Quadrant score on first test = 2100. ;)
[Desire Android Development] MKuiter:
Yep, I have the same thing and I've seen that before in an earlier Froyo or GB MIUI. As workaround switch Monitor power usage off and on again to reset.

Just flashed the matching version with release

As i have expressed many times, these will come in the future since it is already in the MIUI rom, it was only activated so you have to flash matching versions or else bootloop, problem with XJ you have like so many updates, you cant track which version will be latest, LOL.

The standard MIUI kernel is the problem. If you transfer via SD card reader everything should be fast.

The newer ManUkernels all have nice SD card write speed. Read spead was ok here.
[Desire Android Development] Bananebieger:
Although I opened 2 threads in Q&A I have to bother you guys again.

I wanted to switch from XPART to A2SD+ without loosing my stuff that was on the ext partition(changing SDs too).

I can't access my partition that I made with CWM, missing permissions (read here and there for more info).

Will I get my sd-ext data if I just restore my MIUI Backup I made with XPART under A2SD+?

Or is it possible to do following:

Fullwipe(sd-ext, dalvik etc)

Flash A2SD rom

Restore sd-ext from a nandroid with XPART

I don't know how these scripts work and if they are "compatible" with each other...

Help will be muuuuch appreciated!

The first line will make anything involving scrolling and movement smoother and more responsive, pulling down the notification bar and homescreen scrolling for example.

The second two lines invoke GPU rendering of the ui. This frees up the cpu to attend to other tasks or stay idle, thus improving battery life and performance! I see nobody else is interested in using them which is a shame.

I'll add these to my next ROM release, if you don't mind. I am already using one of the hw acceleration settings, and it does seem to help a bit.
[Desire Android Development] sjknight413:
Yep that's right :)

that's fine! I didnt create the tweaks, just found they work quite well with XJ's Rom :)
[Desire Android Development] pdazevedo:
You CAN link contacts yourself. Explore editing contacts and you'll see ;)

FYI battery life is much better than any off Sense ROMs.
[Desire Android Development] bkmo:
I have not looked at the script myself but I assume it is the same principal. I also assume it has been tweaked to be automatic as far as setting up the partition it uses. Such as the EXT4 conversion and choice of partition etc. Maybe XJ can correct me if I assumed incorrectly.

I use amon ra recovery. It has all the options in there to partition whatever way you want. Saves all the hassle of doing it via the PC.
[Desire Android Development] registermyid:
thanx for the tweak mate. I did changes in it. didnt noticed changes bcoz i just have 2 screens and everything is there in the folders. So, to test it i decreased the max cpu to 499 mhz using setcpu. and tried to scrollthe contacts, just one flick to the contacts and they went smooth even with half the processor speed.
[Desire Android Development] booze78:
Now i'm gonna ask a noob question!I'm using clockwork rec.so what do i have to do to go to amon Ra?With the pc it still won't work pfff.

When i partition it with EASEUS my Desire still won't mount my sd.

'dev/block/mmcblk0'
[Desire Android Development] Sinbad_NI:
I had CWM recovery as well then changed it to amon ra, via revoked I think. All backups done when in CWM wont work with amon ra and vice versa.

Don't think it'll help you, just makes formatting the SD card really simple as it can be done in the recovery menu.
[Desire Android Development] fangthorn:
I will admit that it was relatively light use but as you can see from the below image 10% were voice calls
[Desire Android Development] marcel112:
the funny thing is, i'm trying to go to x-part. I am on a2sd, but i cant get backup to work.

When you open minitool, you will see your sd.

You can delete all partitions(MAKE BACKUP first)

then make a ext3 1 Gb partition, the rest fat32

When you install d2ext, x-part your ext will be converted to ext4

or make a ext4 yourself using minitool

[Desire Android Development] Stretlow:
Hi,

This is my first time using MIUI and have mostly prefered sense in the past.

The first thing I cant work out (probably dumb) is when I try to remove some icons from the home screens it says "system apps cannot be removed" i'd like to set my own icons up but dont know how to get around this

Can someone please point me in the right direction (I have tried searching)

Stret :)
[Desire Android Development] speedbird787:
Thanks, I will give it a go in a while.,
[Desire Android Development] SimonCraddock:
Thats because the homescreen is actually your app draw now, so trying to remove them is trying to uninstali them. Just create a folder called Misc or something put it on the last screen and drop unwanted stuff in there.

I've only just switched to MIUI myself in past 24hrs and theres a slight learning curve from previous Sense/Stock roms
[Desire Android Development] Stretlow:
Thank you ........
[Desire Android Development] SimonCraddock:
Have to say I can't believe how stable MIUI is compared to most custom ROMS. Since installed it no FC's no reboots it's rock solid and incredibly polished. This is how Android should be.

Hi everyone :)

Been looking for a solution for this for a couple hours now and was hoping someone could help!

I flashed Xpart earlier after formatting my SD using Gparted

1 gb Ext3 / 128mb swap

Everything went really well , installed with no probs and running very smoothly

When I tried to restore my a2sd MIUI back up I could only restore system data

Kept getting an error when trying to restore apps .

I cant restore mybackup pro apps either or install from market , I keep getting insufficent space errors

In about phone I have internal memory .94gb total and .90gb used

MTD is alpharev bravo sense table ( 180 / 40 / 217 )

SD is class 10 / 16gb

Anybody got any ideas? Bad ext / sd ???

Fantastic rom btw ...

I know, I ran Froyo MIUI for a few months with only a couple of reboots when the battery ran out. No hiccups, no slowdowns, it was kinda boring :p
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Restoring apps between versions with 3rd party apps always get you trouble :(

Better start from scratch.

Don't know if this is your exact issue, but here's a fix for installing (large) apps from market, this helps CM7 users mostly, as said, not sure in your case though..

Install Large apps
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Maybe your SD Card setup??

Otherwise:

-MIUI Backup

-Nandroid backup

-Wipe cache and dalvik cache

-Reflash latest a2sd ota version

-Write a2sd commands in terminal

-Restore MIUI backup if necessary

-enjoy :)
[Desire Android Development] speedbird787:
Quadrant score are good but x-part seems slow. I use swiftkey x and it lags while i m writing. even switching between apps. maybe I am doing something wrong. everything was perfect with a2sd. I will try manu kernel in a while maybe that will help. anything else I can do to make it quicker ?
[Desire Android Development] bravensis:
Im with the same problem now, can see photos in phone but when connect to pc, it disapear, never had this problem with this rom in old versions.
[Desire Android Development] flashjordan:
You have got similar problems to what i had, restoring apps via miui back up from an a2sd rom to xpart will give you probs.

Although a lot off apps restore you will then get failed/cancelled for the rest of the apps on the list. I think this is due to certain or one app corrupting the file write system. The same goes for restoring via titanium even if you restore app only.if you get errors when restoring via miui back up then you file write system has been corrupted and if you download apps via market they can fc aswell.

Im not sure about your storage size but i would try an md5 sum check just to make sure the rom you downloaded is ok.

I had to flash xpart 4 time wiping all 3 a couple of times each. And by trial and error and using quadrant standard to detect faults in the write system i eventually put it down to a few apps that was corrupting the write system.

Dont restore apps that are free from market, download again.

Download and run quadrant standard it will flag up errors with your write system, if it does you will have to flash rom again. Before restoring apps check your internall storage with about phone, also downloading quick system info will tell you if your partition is present.
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
You have the latest kernel installed from Atroy? (1.8.17 in htcfanboys)

Try NoFrills CPU: 998max 128min, On demand, noop.

edit your build.prop with the tweaks mentioned a few pages back in this thread

Last thing to try if none of above works, the juwe ram script, also on htcfanboys.

For me, all 3 options above give me great performance and long battery life ;)
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
This is SD Card related. I had this problem way back too..

Not much you can do about it though. You can copy via adb, the images ARE there, but this is too complicated and slow.

Copy the files to the root of sd card with root explorer often works. Then you can move them from there to pc..

I'm using Wifi Explorer to access my phone now (no cable) and i am not having any issues of this kind anymore :)
[Desire Android Development] flashjordan:

X-part was too slow so tried to wipe dalvik (as i didn't wipe dalvik when i was installing x-part) now stuck on htc screen. :-/

what should I do ? can I still recover my nandroid I did of A2SD ? will it work ok because x-part must have converted my ext3 to ext4.

Edit - I also have miui backup saved of yesterday before I did x-part experiment. should I just install full latest rom and restore miui backup ? or nandroid ?

HELLO!

Hello guys, i've been upgrading roms n stuffs in windows phones, but at the moment i got HTC Desire, and i am crazy about this ROM MIUI-XJ, i've readed all fields about the installation instructions, and i've found some MANUALs ie: MIUI_Manual_GINGERBREAD_Rev_0.ppt

and

MIUI_Manual_FROYO_Rev_3.ppt

It's all right good explained but it says Partitioning using AmonRa Recovery, and as long as i read about this Recovery tool i never seen it in my phone so i can use it!

Before i do some BRICKing stuff with my phone i would please someone to give me some link with explanation about upgrading the ROM step by step, from HTC Desire factory phone the thing i could explain is:

Android Version 2.2

Baseband version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Kernel Version 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c - htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build Number 2.29.405.5 CL239415release-keys

Software number 2.29.405.5

Browser version Webkit 3.1

And Model Number: HTC Desire A8181

As far as i could read in the forums that this ROM makes the sd-card like internal memory to install larger applications or games. that's whats my point i want to do!

I Plan to buy 16GB SD-CARD and to do such thing, ie/ partitioning 8GB fat32 for Video/Photo (Multimedia) and the rest for games, apps, so the phone can use it as internal memory beside, this low memory stuff is killing me! :D

I would please someone, to at least give me the links so i can read the manual how-to-do-it!

Thanks in advance! :D

Peace.
[Desire Android Development] flashjordan:
For a2sd to work properly type in terminal su then a2sd check.......

Then look for dark tremors script is running...... zipalign is present and at boot

The dalvic is symbolically linked to sd ext ( or something like that,,,im xpart now)

And finally the no app to sd card flag is removed.

The above 3 have got to be in place for a2sd to work.

Su

A2sd zipalign creates the symbolic link

A2sd cachesd removes the no a2sd flag

However to get it working you may have to jump through hoops.

There are other commands that work for some and not for others ( dont know why) but when a2sd check says zipalign happens at boot

A2sd cachesd

A2sd reinstall

A2sd repair

A2sd cachesdrepair

The above commands should remove the no apps to sd flag

[Desire Android Development] flashjordan:
Download quadrant standard and run it, see if it can run the read/write test.

And check md5 sum of rom and compare.

Have you formated your sd...i.e ext present.

Check via about phone or quick system info for ext.
[Desire Android Development] flashjordan:
Yip that seems right,, however miui a2sd is reporting internal storage in a different manner as compared to previous roms. It now highlights internal storage just like xpart....ie total combined memory of dalvic + ext. Where as previous it would show internal storage + ext(internal storage). I know a bit confusing.

Download quick system info and it shows true internal storage instead of combined.

Previous a2sd roms showed
[Desire Android Development] speedbird787:
Thanks for your help bro. I will try Quick system info.

my phone is back on track. for some people xpart is too good. for me it was too slow, maybe my sd card is problem. but anyways I m happy with a2sd. quadrant score is not as good as xpart but what I m gonna do with score if phone is slow as hell. :p so I will live with lower score but better performance. ;)

Hey bros, ive listened to the posts for a while now saying xpart is the best. Spent the last 2 days flashing it multiple times in order to get rid of fc,s
