Oh and the soureces for browser, calendar etc. i didn't see... will look for it and try to translate some maybe tonight, have to go to work now.

[Desire Android Development] Raffie75:
Found the app an others... will look into it tonight.

Update 5 is the last update i have done so i'm oke now i think?

Thanks XJ
[Desire Android Development] taz633:
So this will fix the iw problem?

i mean that if i select iw with more local after this fix then i will get english and not chinese?

also, is this update 5 good for the X-Part without Gscript rom?

thanks XJ.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Yes you are okay, dont update anything online, ill just move the aopshare some other time in a folder maybe
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
I havent tried more locale with this build, yeah it should bacause the default is in english.

Hey Bro, I'm using your 1.3.4 D2EXT X-PART now. If I wanna upgrade to 1.3.5, do I have to install the full rom ? Can I just install the Latest Global Update: 1.3.5 for 2.2 ?

Sorry if it has been asked before cuz I didn't notice, and it isn't stated in the first post. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Raffie75:
You can update the Latest Global Update!
[Desire Android Development] techtechnique:
Did you apply the changes to actually create the partitions and format them with the correct file systems?

After that you'll need to copy to the card your original data, such as your MIUI backup folder and your X-part flash ROM.

Then boot into your recovery and flash the clean, new ROM. X-part reboots twice and then you're done.

Guys, I m using A2SD Ver. since a long time now, very happy with it. using Go Launcher on top of MIUI. anyways, I've been reading alot of people prefer using xpart instead of A2SD. I thought I should hop in the wagon of Xpart too.

The only reason I haven't try Xpart is my sd card. I have a Kingston 16 GB Class 4 SD card. What I wanna know is mostly people using Xpart with insane high quadrant scores are using Class 10. I am happy with my A2SD but won't mind performance upgrade. So does it worth on a Class 4 card ? anyone tried Xpart on Class 4 ?

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] LaP0573:
Ok, the problem is that I partitioned before doing the backup. ****, I'm a noob. =D

Well, there is no problem if I just put the X Part rom and launch it from the ClockWork Mod ? I won'rt be able to get my data back, but since I partitionned, I think they are lost anyway. Not a big loss.

And by the way, I have a Class 2 SD Card. Is that a problem ?
[Desire Android Development] techtechnique:
I wouldn't recommend partitioning your card via the phone.

With the phone running it'll cause all sorts of problems as the OS is using the card all the time.

I'd suggest popping the card out, slip it into an SD adapter and do the partitions direct on your laptop.

[Desire Android Development] techtechnique:
If you've not got any data on your card now, a nandroid restore won't work as the backup files have been erased off the card!

Take a deep breath... and start from scratch.

Edit: just re-read your post and yes, reflash from CWM but double check your partitions are right first.
[Desire Android Development] LaP0573:
Finally, it's done, flashed well. However, I couldn't partition the SD Card using a SD Adapter since I don't have any and I need my phone working. I might redo all this with an adapter if I spot any bugs that might be related to the way I partitionned.

I just have two last questions, no more after that : Does D2EX X-Part act automatically, transferring games and apps to the SD card ? If yes, how can I check it works ?

And the last, I've two backups on my computer : one titanium backup of my previous rom and one clockwork mod backup of my MIUI A2SD ROM working and almost all set, should I restore one of those ? Or won't it help ?

After that, I'll finally leave you alone, thanks for all your help =D
[Desire Android Development] techtechnique:
The titanium backup is the one I'd go for.

If you go to Settings, System, About Phone, you should see the Internal Memory sizes, the total being the size of your Data partition.

X-part automatically installs all apps into this partition.

Let me know if you run into any problems but you should be ok.

Welcome to MIUI!

MIUI-XJ Desire
[Desire Android Development] techtechnique:
Don't forget, if you decide to redo your partitions, make a MIUI backup first, and copy the MIUI folder on your SD card to your laptop BEFORE wiping your card!

Oh great, indeed it works, first time I see 1go as internal memory. Great =)

[Desire Android Development] techtechnique:
Max 1190 Min 128 Governor Performance or Interactive

Sleep / standby Max 384 Min 128.

The speed increase is most noticeable when set to Performance, but obviously this'll cause higher battery drain, so at the moment I'm testing with Interactive. I'll try Smartass later but I've always had wake up issues with this setting on other kernels.

I also have kingston class 4,tried Xparts after I've been using App2SD (with dalvik cache left on internal,and CM7 hboot) for some time,both on same setup (FAT32 + 1 GB ext). Only restored MIUI backup nothing else,and Xparts version had lags so I've restored nandroid :D

So in my experience for SD cards >class 6 App2SD with dalvik on internal is overal faster than data2ext. Because of the location of dalvik cache :)

<edit> Ok I solved the below by running 'a2sd reinstall' - this seemed to free up a lot of space and I now have 84MB free. I also did 'a2sd zipalign' and 'a2sd cachesd' again just in case...

Folks -sorry to be a pain but I'm having space issues with the new a2sd version.

I made a miui backup of system, data and all apps

I factory wiped, wiped cache and dalvik - and flashed the latest a2sd version.

Once it rebooted, I downloaded Terminal Emulator and typed the following

su <enter>

a2sd zipalign <enter>

a2sd cachesd <enter>

Alot of text appeared. Also something complaining about dark tremor not running at boot or something (this):

[X] No a2sd.swap environment variable found.

[X] Problem detected: Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran

during boot. Cannot read a2sd.mountpoint.

But anyway, I restored the Miui Backup - but run out of space!

Under System -> sd card settings:

SD Card:

Total Space: 13.88gb

Available space: 1.2GB

a2sd+

Total Space: 0.98 gb

Available space: 849MB

I only have *very few* apps - about 20 downloaded apps, and these are all small in size - there is no games like angry birds etc.

Can anyone help me out here.

I might go back to my nandroid 1.7.22 or else just try again...

<edit> I did try again - this time the phone rebooted after the 'a2sd cachesd' command.

Restored my apps and I had 11MB left :(

I was able to manually 'move to sd' for some of them and this made some more space available (surely it should stay the same as they should already be on sd?).

Do you need to 'a2sd reinstall' after - can I do this now without harming anything? What does a2sd zipalign do?

[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
If you are using either english, chinese or danish, i got my own customized update that fixes that. Meaning i did loads of smali editing, fixing every date format in apps to dd/mm/yyyy.

Although, this MIGHT not fix (don't know for sure) the format for messages and call logs already on the phone, but it will definetly fix it for future instances :)

Oh, and the date picker for calendar, birthdays, etc. is also dd/mm/yyyy...

And nevermind the filename and what the updater script says when in recovery, this is ONLY apk updates for 1.8.12 and thus for all versions, just didn't bother editing the script ;)

Ok, just thought i'd ask people if they got any ideas for improvements on my current setup for kernel and/or cpu control app.

I'm looking for the best balance between performance and battery life..

* X-Part version. (With Kingston 16GB class10 SD Card, Fat32-ext4-swap)

* Tiamat 4.06 kernel

* Radio: 5.17.05.23

* NoFrills CPU with following settings:

-Max clock Freq. :1.229GHz (EDIT: Now changed to 1.19GHz, as the phone crashed/freezed in MIUI Music app..)

-Min clock Freq. :128MHz

-Governor :Interactive

-I/O Scheduler :Noop

Basically, it's the Governors and I/O schedulers i'm curious about, i'm not entirely familiar with the meaning and functions of them, so inputs are welcome ;)

Also, i'm not completely convinced the Tiamat kernel is better than the stock one, so i'm gonna run a few days with this one and then a few days with the stock one, using the same settings in NoFrills CPU, to compare...

EDIT: OK, i get an issue where the phone won't wake after the screen has shut off. I have to either wait a few minutes or pull battery.. Quite annoying..

Kernel issues, or NoFrills CPU messing up?

[Desire Android Development] will8578:
oh and also im on stock kernel, tried noop and bfq, havnt noticed any difference, im 998mhz and 128 ondemand, and i so far im getting 2 days usage, that involves some calls, txts, ****book, and loads of xda and some downloading

sorry just realised how to edit,

@ tech, i got 2100 quadrant score with the ramscript and 2451 without, yes i know thats not important but still a big difference
[Desire Android Development] will8578:
@ AlexV not an answer to your question, was wondering , was swap not only used for crappy phones that needed the extra memory?
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Hmm, funny thing is, with the tiamat kernel, i don't get the on demand option for the governors, i got interactive, conservative, userspace, powersave, performance and smartass ..

(But as i recall, i had the on demand option with the stock kernel, but i'm not sure about this at all..)

Oh, also, changed max clock freq to 1.19 GHz, with 1.229 the MIUI music app goes nuts and crashes the phone completely.. Have to pull the battery..

I flashed 1.8.12 X-PART version two days ago and it's working very good by now. No freezes, no crashes and no FC's. Before the deletion of the swap partition I had FC's at every step. I don't know why, but after i deleted that partition, everything was going ok.

Now i have 1GB ext4 and the rest is FAT32 (8GB SD, class 4), made with GParted. I use the default kernel and the next SetCPU settings:

[Main freq]: min 128 MHz, max 998 MHz when the screen is on (it works very fluid even at 499 - 614 MHz max, even in games - tested. This is an option for battery saving maniacs :D)

Profile [In Call]: min 128 MHz, max 384 MHz, On Demand, Priority 100

Profile [Screen Off]: min 128 MHz, max 245 MHz, On Demand, Priority 99

My battery lasts 1 day and a almost a half if i play 1 hour, 20-30 mins of calls, 20 - 30 SMS messages, Wi-fi and Sync 30 mins. In the rest of the time Wi-fi, Sync, 3G are OFF.

And in any case, how do one activate/deactivate it?

FROM OP> 1.3.11 with GScript x1

- the fourth partition (swap) was default close now, if you need to use it, manual activation is required by doing the ff:

delete /data/local/data2extswap.disable file with Root Explorer, restart handset

DO NOT delete the wrong file, there are some tab file not to be deleted, otherwise your phone will go to reboot loop or the data will be missing. Please take note of this!!!

- 2.3 things started here, live wallpapers support (themes, phone, etc. see 1.3.11 changelog)

I have't used swap in a while cause I dont see a difference in performance theres also a code you type into terminal emulator to check if its working but I cant remember what that is:o
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Hopefully there will be some of it on Ebay.

As some people already said before, default kernel supports swap. Someone already beat me to it, you need to delete some script somewhere so the swap gets activated.
