Hey, flashed yesterday the A2SD+ version and found it great! But im having "little" issue with this one..

The Telocation / System / Android (com.android.providers.telocation) service is taking about 20-40% of cpu usage when plugged in. When i woke up today the phone was damn hot and checked with system info that this process had been sucking my battery (while charging). Then tried various reboots but no change. Now when unplugged it is still frequently taking 20% of cpu speed like for 1-5mins. After 3 hours of being unplugged and without any use the battery has dropped from 100 to 74.

Is this common or am I the only one? Do we have a solution?

Edit:

Just tried the HAVS-AXI kernel and the problem continues. The correct process is com.android.providers.telocation

Edit2:

BTW. anyone know how to: when i open folder and then a application in it -> how to auto-close the folder so when i return to my home screen, the folder wouldnt be open there anymore? Thanks
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
I am on xpart and i dont have the problem, we have kernel differences but i dont see why telocation is affected, wait for a2sd users to feedback if thats the case.

Hi XJ just thought I'd point out that I get Chinese writing in my call log time line, if iv just finished a call or made one but after a minute it changes to English this happens in messaging time line too, but everything else seems ok now since the UID mismatch, also iv removed SetCpu and the phone response feels good if not better.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Lol, I can mod the image if you want. Ha ha
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Oh sh#t that would be plurals in framework res, ill make a quick en zh update 1.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] PhysX:
would be great :)

but wouldnt it be better if there is no text, for multilang users?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Yeah, true. Did not have time to mod yet, just post he he

Solved inconsistent uids after upgrade by wiping /data and reinstalling all apps+system data with MIUI Backup and Titanium.
[Desire Android Development] faceN:
Hey guys, sorry to repeat myself but I can't figure out this problem of not being able to install large ~20Mb apps despite extensive googling. What I have found out so far is that this might be related to the insufficient size of /cache partition (I am on the stock table). I have cleaned /cache but large apps still won't install. Is there anything else I can check or know about /cache and X-part functionally? Thanks for bearing with me :)
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
sample app you are installing? i have only tried skype from market which is 8 to 11mb i think.
[Desire Android Development] faceN:
Hey XJ, thanks for looking into this :) Try Paradise Island Free, just as an example...
[Desire Android Development] Marchief:
Think I've a couple of bugs.

SMS preview is not working on lockscreen with pop up messages turned off and preview turned on.

Notification light is not flashing for SMS messages.

i have installed 1.5.6 A2SD + italian language pack with full wipe. I have this issue...the voice recoder application don't work...crash. Any idea?
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
I'm not sure that it's a Gingerbread issue as much as a MIUI issue because I was using Whatsapp fine while I was on GingerVillain, but it chokes under GB MIUI.
[Desire Android Development] nickk67:
I just flashed this:

MIUI XJ 1.2.25 D2W FINAL Signed

But I'm getting a lot of chinese strings. How do I set my locale to english as per mentioned in 1st post?

Edit: Found it. Got confused with all those chinese words ha ha

[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
I wrote before, the signal is not strong enough that i have to sit right beside my modem
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Yeah but i have full signal and i am using wi-fi too with the default kernel. i am not sure if anyone has wi-fi signal issues like yours.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
I am on 1.2.25 update on x-part, i go to market and updated the gmail successfully

if not do the usual adb or root explorer
[Desire Android Development] 123schiff:
No issue's with Wifi... am on X-part 1.2.25 .. default kernel
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
with previous version, i had difficulties with wifi, i had to be veeeery close to modem that for full signal, there had to be 2 3 meters to modem. but if you say so, let me try this ;)
[Desire Android Development] dracozz:
Hi XJ,

I've been experiencing jerky launcher scroll on versions X-Part 1.2.25 and also 1.2.19.

Tried other kernels and default kernels but scrolling is often non-smooth.

Everything is smooth when I am back to version X-Part 1.2.11.

Do you have any idea on this?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Launcher issue was only present in 1.2.18, hmm i dont have it yet. Will explore this rom further.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Yeah, youre problem might have been carried from this rom, you can also try other roms to isolate your problem.
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
I get after first reboot always:

System UID Inconsistent

UIDs on the System are incositent, you need to wipe your data partition....

What can i do ?

I have 7 gb fat32

and 512 Mb ext4
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
If this is xpart you should have flash the activator after rom flash.
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
You mean:

1.) install ROM

2.) dont reboot

3.) install patch

right ?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Yes sir.

And use parted magic when first time installing, got some issues with cwm or amonra specially old versions.
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
After install without the Patch gparted cant recognize my sdcard :(
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Just installed MIUI_XJ_D2EXT_X-PART_1.2.25_x1. Followed installation instructions, everything worked like a charm!

Now into personalization stuff...any recommendations?

Thanks XJ for a beautiful ROM!
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
Ok, i have a MacBook Pro and i only use Ubuntu on it.

Maybe has Ubuntu problem with the card reader.

I have solved it and goes on :-)
[Desire Android Development] negative13:
Nice ROM, not yet used to the look and feel of it.

Question though, is it ok to update OTA?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Reformat card from windows. then partition again.

everyone please read carefully when using x-part version, thanks.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Mabuhay!

No, it is just for me, i use it when MIUI post update so i can know what only change. I dont have to do FULL rom for previous users.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
I just installed it, with no problems, i dont have any mtd partition, did not made one from the day i got my desire.

How much EXT you got?

My QSI for reference
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
where did you get the italian language pack? in my multi lang?

EDIT:

i guess not because i tried Italian in my phone and the recorder is fine
[Desire Android Development] xthephreakx:
indeed On gingerVillain it was working great.
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
I've got a similar setup as you, except that I'm using the Bravo Sense table instead of stock (but both have the same 40MB cache size). I was just able to download and install Paradise Island with no problem.

When you say you wiped cache, did you mean app cache (as in, use Manage applications, aCCleaner or something similar and delete the cache from large apps individually) or did you boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition?

The former won't affect the space available for downloading apps from the Market but the latter will.

Also, I've noticed that since the past couple versions of MIUI, Quick System Info isn't reporting cache size properly. It seems to be reporting the space on the internal /data partition as the /cache partition, though I suspect this may have something to do with the d2ext script.
[Desire Android Development] xthephreakx:
what app are you running to see your meminfo ?
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Not having any issues here works ok for me.
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Quick System Info
[Desire Android Development] Marchief:
Also just noticed there is still the 2s call delay issue on XPART 1.5.6 so annoying
[Desire Android Development] faceN:
@XJ: I've got 0.93GB (made a 968MB EXT with Gparted), curretnly 500MB free

@Staggers: I wiped all and flashed the 1.5.6 yesterday. Then restored apps with TB. When problems with restoring some apps occured (both TB and Market) I deleted stuff (downloads) from /cache/downloads with Root Explorer which partially worked and I was able to install some medium-sized apps 10-15MB. Now there's nothing in /cache/downloads and it shows 40MB free, but I still can't install anything over cca 19-20MB.

BTW, is the game any good ;)
[Desire Android Development] skp3c0:
XJ...if u be doin update, there is still chinese in title of new note in Notes App(wasnt dere before i think). also there is a missing white space in birthday info (when u choosin ure contact birthday, there is no space between string "Birthday" and rest of date, same with lunar calendar)...
[Desire Android Development] techtechnique:
I'm having a new problem in 1.5.6 that wasn't there in 1.4.29.

Some of the contacts aren't showing up correctly in the SMS app, despite the correct details being in my Contacts list. Instead of showing the name, it's just showing the sender's phone number.

This is happening for incoming and outgoing messages.

I've tried a full wipe and it's still the same.

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Well, if your /cache is showing 40MB free you should be good to go. Perhaps just wipe from recovery just to be doubly sure?

As for the game, I intended to just test it and delete it, but after playing for 5 mins or so I think I'll keep it a bit longer :cool:
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Bro's after flashing 1.5.6 (D2Ext) and multilanguage I received following message:

UI... must wipe or your rom will work unstable....

After this I flashed the update - but received same message again.

I don't receive any message of that before. What you mean - doing an full wipe oder wipe cache/dalvik?

Someone here receive same message?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
notes? en zh? multi lang? i have multi lang "new note" is english

would be hard to see if there's no screen shot, lol?

i have +65 , +63 and so on.... on my contacts so i dont have these issues from the start i guess thats why
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
In recovery, you have to FULL WIPE,

Meaning WIPE ALL USERDATA in AmonRa, + WIPE DALVIK CACHE
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Why a full wipe, Xavier ? I don't understand this, cause till today wipe cache and dalvik was enough (D2W). Since I have Data2Ext (it is more stable then D2W (my opinion) I don't have making any wipes (cache and dalvik) - till I receivedthe message today.

EDIT:

I flashed OTA 1.5.6
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Lots of people have had the same problem, me included. See the last 5-6 pages. To fix it:

1. download the full version of 1.5.6 (NOT the OTA)

2. put the zip on your SD card

3. Backup all apps and settings using MIUI Backup (and Titanium just to be sure)

4. Reboot into recovery

5. Nandroid backup (in case something goes wrong)

6. Factory reset/data wipe (this will wipe /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache and /sdcard/.android_secure)

7. Install full version of 1.5.6

8. Wait for first boot (up to 10 mins), then when settled, reboot and restore apps and settings from MIUI Backup

EDIT: I use CWM, and doing a factory reset/data wipe there is sufficient to clear everything I mentioned above. I sometimes also format /system but this isn't really necessary as /system gets overwritten when you install a full ROM anyway. If you use AmonRA the principle is the same, but the exact option to select in recovery may be different. Look around or ask others who use that to be sure.

EDIT 2: This procedure is only needed because some major changes took place in MIUI moving from Android 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 that have been causing the inconsistent system UID errors, but normally you would only need to wipe dalvik and cache and flash the OTA as you've been doing.
[Desire Android Development] faceN:
Just to make sure, as I don't fancy a full wipe yet again, from recovery I should just wipe the cache partition and this shouldn't break my current ROM, right?

Yeah, I also took the game as an example of a large app but never got the chance to try it for obvious reasons. Anyway I am glad you like it and hope XJ digs it as well so your help guys doesn't go unrewarded ;)
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Yup, wiping cache is totally safe as it's just temporary storage that isn't meant to carry over between reboots anyway. In fact, even if you wipe your dalvik it's not a problem as it will be re-created on boot (though that isn't necessary in this case).

The game does look kinda cool, and as I'm from an island it's a nice distraction when this English weather gets miserable. :)
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Sorry to sound GREEN:o guys but what is this Bravo Sence table / Stock about? a link to this info will do

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Partition tables. If you're S-OFF you can change up the default one (stock) to another (e.g. Bravo Sense, CM7, etc.). The main reason is to free up some of the unused space in the /system partition to make it available in /data for storing more apps. Kinda unnecessary if you're using a Data2Ext solution as many here are using. See AlphaRev's site for further info.
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
I do an full wipe (with Amonra) and now restoring with titanium - but many thx, bro ;)
[Desire Android Development] skp3c0:
sry XJ... here u go...hope the notes one is not hard coded :D

forgot to add... its 1.5.6 A2SD EN,ZH ;)
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Thanks for that Staggers so in my case not needed:) also downloaded that game looks pretty cool.

+1 on Xpart (sig)
[Desire Android Development] Drefsab:
Hi there I installed MIUI XJ D2EXT X-PART 1.5.6 - 2.3.4 GS 3P FINAL all seams well

I have my SD card partitioned as 128mb Swap, 1GB EXT4 and the rest FAT32, however I couldnt see that swap was working so I downloaded A2SDGUI that said swap was not enabled, I tried to enable it but if fails, how can I enable the swap?
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Try this taken from OP> - 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.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Ah thanks, the Notes one should have been fixed in the Update 1 posted for EN ZH,

Birthday and lunare etc:

what the heck did they do that for, LOL, no space again, grrr, that i think would be in framework, ived seen those new strings there, geez we are lucky someone is exploring this rom, he he.
[Desire Android Development] faceN:
Wiped the cache part from recovery but installing anything over 20MB is still a no go here. Here are some screenshots of my stats.

Although here we have some real Paradise Islands, this is becoming a quest for me, even a bit of an obsession lol
[Desire Android Development] Drefsab:
Hi I tried that rebooted it still did not show swap being off, I grabbed gscript and ran the swap on script that also didnt work, it gave me an error saying:

stderr: swapon: can't start '/dev/block/mmcblk0p4': No such file or directory.
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Where is that second picture taken from?

I have never seen where to put in birthdays??? I am really missing something here, haha!

Probably a stupid question

Hello people,

My Desire has been broken for a while. A friend has now replaced the screen, and finally I can get back to customizing my phone. However, as I've been using my old phone for a while, I'm not really up to date with the lastest Android/MIUI developments.

My questions are very simple, probably bordering on stupid: as I understand the only difference between the standard MIUI and this version is that this has either data2ext, a2sd or "data2wherever". Is this correct? I seem to recall that the original MIUI also had a2sd.

Then secondly, what are the advantages to these versions? Is the d2ext version the best choice for the average user?

Thanks in advance for your patience,

a returning android user
[Desire Android Development] faceN:
Thanks for your patience :) Yup, market data cleared several times. Not aware of anything that could block installing apps. And why only large apps? Superuser works. The shield icon is Juice Defender. Tried disabling it, made no difference:
[Desire Android Development] madffrogs:
I'm getting a lot of f/c, gmail, twitter, mms,framework and other things with 1.5.6.

I'm on xpart, I did a wipe and full install, now gone back to last version.

It seems everything wants to force close, full wiped and reinstalled a few times

and same result, seems to run fine for awhile then starts with the f/c messages.

I wipe,install let it settle then start to put my apps back on via titianium back up

and miui backup, screen layout, contacts wifi settings and stuff.

any ideas ?
[Desire Android Development] Black1982:
I would like to know the same! My GF desire is now running MUIU from Miui China! I would like to flash this ROM for her but I would like to know what version the bestand most hassle free for her. I also need to make a ext partition ?

Sorry for being lazy!:o
[Desire Android Development] jaavaa:
Perfect rom!

How do i block ads? Adfree says that patch operation OK. Ads still appearing. Re-running adfree and it says that host files needs to be updated again. Ive don this few timemes now but still ads appearing..
[Desire Android Development] Phil402:
hey,

i'd like to know which keyboard(s) are included in this ROM.

i'm going to switch over from GingerVillain and i kinda love the Gingerbread stock Keyboard.

is there any possibility to restore my User Dictionary via TitaniumBackup?

thx in advance
[Desire Android Development] ras0389:
I have the same problem..

in the previous version i could send SMS with my number format.

Its a error in the rom.. it should remove spaces an hyphen before sending like all previous version did..:(
[Desire Android Development] wowcoolman:
I have the same issue too
[Desire Android Development] skp3c0:
i would go with A2SD+ version on ure place... been on Xpart before, but there are some lil problems sometimes... i think A2SD+ with moving dalvik is hassle free for her, been on A2SD since Gingerbread with no problems... then u can update "over the air" every friday ;)...

SPACE...have almost 160 apps installed with 45mb free, so there shouldnt be any problem wiv dat...

SPEED...have only class4 with around 8mbps speeds, but speed of system is fine... but be prepared dat scrolling is not smooth like on other AOSP roms, at least at mine Desire (i´ve tryied every version, not just A2SD)

BATTERY... been using ManU 1.4 kernel - got "extraordinary" life (1-2 days of medium usage) with dat, but u know, everything depends on user usage, so u can still kill battery in few hours ;)...
[Desire Android Development] thor9934:
yeah i would gor for A2SD too, and if you have s-off already, i would flash cm7 hboot to get more space for apps, if you dont want to mess with partitioning
[Desire Android Development] CreativeClub:
I'm on Data2ext at the moment. I only have a class 2 SD card (4GB). Do you think A2SD is smoother?

When I launch an application, it usually takes around 3 seconds to open.

+ I get lag when I download something, scroll the home-screen and launch an app. My phone freezes for some seconds then...

Anyone has any advice to make my phone run smoother? :)

(this had nothing to do with XJ's MIUI, cause XJ is AWESOME!)

=)
[Desire Android Development] Baardman:
Thanks for answering my question!

I'm already S-OFF and I need to change from the Oxygen HBOOT anyway so I will flash the cm7 one too. Thanks for the tips!
[Desire Android Development] thor9934:
hboot cache problem

good to hear that i could help :), another thing is in the CM7 hboot the cache partition is to small to install bigger apps

i have made this flashable zip : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12639990/CM7_Hboot_MIUI_MOD.zip

to solve the problem, its just a script from CM7 and if im correct it will move your cache to the sd if needed because of space limit :), no matter what it does all credit goes to cyanogen team for the script, and it worked for me i just made it flashable :D
[Desire Android Development] skp3c0:
been on D2EXT mainly cos of space, so i "suffered" from laggyness rather then problems with space. In my opinion Xpart and A2SD+ are way too faster(smoother) than D2EXT. I would try A2SD on ure place... without moving dalvik first, that should make ure phone faster, but without moving it you have to be prepared for notification about low space after installing approx 60-70 apps (not sure though) ;)...
[Desire Android Development] thor9934:
if he flash CM7 hboot first he will have 300mb internal for apps, then if he want more space then he could 'force' install on sd with the apps that are not certified for a2sd yet, i got pretty many apps, and many of them are pretty heavy on size, and i have 169 mb space left, and i didnt even move all my apps to sd yet
[Desire Android Development] Marchief:
Adblock doesn't work on miui you have to you use the oily Adblock flashable one, its on xda somewhere
