Concerning sdcard partitioning, this is the howto I've used for my Desire. I partitioned it initially for the Starburst ROM, and used the same layout for MIUI:

http://starburst.droidzone.in/starburst-rom-home/resources/how-to-partition-for-starburst/

for the XPART, no special setup, download latest version, put to sdcard, wipe all in recovery and flash it.

Hope it helps.
[Desire Android Development] JohnDaKinky:
i have made ext4/swap/fat32 partitions..i have to run emulator again like a2sd?

su --> a2sd zipalign ---> su ---> a2sd cachesd?

Or it runs the partions by itself?:/

i`m trying to install xpart miui version but i have bootloop:confused:

Thanks a lot...And sorry for that...:/
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Hold a sec before you flash a new HBOOT, since XJ gave a link one page back to a mod that gives you a bigger cache. Try that first.

Secondly, I can't answer your questions about comparison between a2sd and x-part as I haven't used a2sd with this ROM for a long time. I just use x-part and it works very well for me.

i got some other question, is it necessary to wipe cache and dalvik cache when i want to try different kernel? i'm asking cause i've read somewhere that wiping dalvik is bad thing to do on MIUI and i'm not sure if it's true or not, lol.
[Desire Android Development] sushidog:
Tu de facto envergonhas-me, lê a porra do post antes do teu!!! Why do you insist on not to read previous posts or PM, like the one I've sent you two days ago?

You don't need swap. You don't need those partitions for xpart. Didn't you told us before you're going with a2sd?

Go back 10 or 20 posts for more answers.

No need to wipe for kernel. It's FALSE that's bad wiping Dalvik cache on MIUI and sometimes is the best solution to solve problems, can you tell us where did you read this?

do you have to re-install this every time you update the ROM(every Friday) and does it come in versions like for example

you have to download the 1.11.4 version for the ROM version 1.11.4
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
if you look at the term dalvik cache in android development and sources online. through time your phone may get slow, lag, etc. it is actually adviced to wipe it to make phone faster. not often. but advisable. it is slow at first boot because it is rebuilding it. bad or not? its not bad.

no, if its flashed it stays there unless the script deletes it.

The script?

and is there like a manual way of doing it?

edit: ive just done it and not much has happened, or at least i dont see a change how do i know its worked?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
what you are asking is a script in init.d

the one i link is that script

open the file in winrar and youll see

when you flash that zip it copies the script to init.d

so i said that if i dont delete it in the script which is the ota updater script then it will stay there, no need to flash again.

same as other methods if your soff, extract file in pc, copy to sdcard, use root explorer, place in right location. set permissions, reboot

[Desire Android Development] twics:
Extended settings

Hi guys

This is probably a dim question so sorry if it is:) but I assume that after a rom update and if im using the Extended Settings by Andy Thomson which I am, ill have to reinstall the extened settings once that is updated too, cant the settings be included in the rom update's or is this not possible?
[Desire Android Development] rmg2:
Only if the miui team will include this mod in their future release, till then you have to flash it after every update. I use it too. ;)
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Damn!! thats a shame cause its quiet a nice add on.
[Desire Android Development] rmg2:
I guess you are new to miui and maybe to android, so my advice is:

- leave the hboot as it is, you dont need to change it;

- use xpart version of xj's if you want a stable, fast and smooth rom on your device

- you'll have more internal space that you need and you dont have to run extra commands or something for that.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Even andy does it every week you know, so it has to be flash every week, he he

Just make your flashing timings, when you have the OTA and ES and 4WAY by roberto then flash all one time in recovery every week

It's like hes been posting here for so long, lol, might be legit querries though, so rock on!

Bro' this rom is getting better and better every week, i'm glad i have this chance to have it on my desire; for me is perfect except one thing: an option in miui backup for google accounts.

I know, just a little advice for that guy!
[Desire Android Development] i.amtom:
what's the disadvantages of x-part though, it cant be perfect? and seeing from the poll a2sd is more popular so there's something about x-part that stops people from using it?

ive heard of forces closes
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Boom. This is exactly what I do, I don't flash till I have all 3 updates in hand.
[Desire Android Development] rmg2:
The only disadvantage i find in xpart is that the photo frame doesnt work and for fc, i dont have none of them, so use whatever rom you want.

They is couple reasons, one people might not really want more space and are happy with a2sd. two people might not understand what it actually does so they stick with what they know.

Has long as your sd card is class 4 and above you shouldn't get any FCs I dont remember the last time I even had a single FC on miui.
[Desire Android Development] i.amtom:
hi, one last question. what do i do before using x-part, because i have a 16gb sdcard and only 1.7gb of it is in the ext.

and whats md5sum?
[Desire Android Development] MKuiter:
I had quite some lags using X-PART with the stock browser and ES File Explorer that I don't have with the A2SD version. The upside of X-PART was more space, no commands to get it working and it was a bit smoother but that was more due to the kernel. For me A2SD is almost just as speedy as X-PART in real life use on my Desire with a class 6 card.
[Desire Android Development] kmaq:
take proper backup and enjoy flashing the MIUI-XJ x-part version.

using md5sum you can verify the size of the download with the one published on the website :) for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
MD5 is away on check you have 100% complete downloads, I have uploaded a windows app you can use, you just drag and drop the file you want checking, it will then show you the md5 code, check it against the file you where downloading from.

i have cm7r2 hboot, does it work well or should i got back to stock ?

i launched the rom but cant move apps to sd on terminal emulator,,,

thanks
[Desire Android Development] flashjordan:
Ok will give it a go 2mrw on PC....copy and paste into rom then ill flash full rom.

When I flashed it initially via recovery it extracted it and installed it but it never took.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this script is altering the hboot table...ie..if I'm increasing system cache from 40mb to 63mb then it must be subtracting 23mb from else where...where? .... and if this script alters the hboot table. Won't I need to be s/off.....or....have I got this completely wrong.

[Desire Android Development] DTBrum:
Am trying to watch TV to the Desire via the tvcatchup site. Have tried several players for streaming including the built in one, Daroon, MX Video Player, MoboPlayer and mVideoPlayer.

I have the same issue with all of the players, in that the stream starts, plays fine for a couple of minutes, then quits. Am thinking this could be rom based as it is happening with so many different players.

Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? Using Wifi, not tried 3G yet.

[Desire Android Development] zedaale:
Silly answer but what do you mean by bootloop.? The first time I. Flashed the rom it restarted once. Right after flashing and before the miui logo appeared . I thought it was bootloop, but it's normal. If not, can be a bad download.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
If you take a look at the script, it creates 64 Mb binary file, then mounts it in /data/local. Looks like it is taking size from ext4 partition. XJ, please correct me if I am mistaken.

So it never touches original HBOOT, it simply tells the system, this is now your cache and use it, not original one.

Still bit confused,

What's the best SD card class for x-part then?

Im currently on 16gb class 4, using 1.7gb on ext 4.

ive read this:

- I got to say this but this one is a fast data2ext code and stable!, i have - tried most of the codes here too, this one is a killer as well!

- I named it X-PART, the site called it xpartitions

- X-PART = Will work on

2 Partitions: fat32+ext4, fat32=remaining, ext4=1000MB;

3 Partitions: fat32+ext4+ext4, fat32=remaining, ext4=1000MB, ext4=300MB;

4 Partitions: fat32+ext4+ext4+linux-swap, fat32=remaining, ext4=1000MB, ext4=300MB, linux-swap=100-200MB;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PARTITIONS I TESTED THIS

2 Partitions: fat32+ext4, fat32=remaining, ext4=512MB;

2 Partitions: fat32+ext3, fat32=remaining, ext3=512MB;

2 Partitions: fat32+ext3, fat32=remaining, ext3=512MB-1000MB;

(was converted to Fat32+EXT4+EXT4 when i flashed the rom)

Recommended to use parted magic or gparted to partition!

how can you use a partition more than once, i seem to remember when in gparted there were 3 partitions to choose from, 2ext,3ext,4ext, at least i think so and if you used 4ext for 1gb memory i couldn't use it again for another lot of gb
[Desire Android Development] zamansimba:
where should i download miui spare parts?

i have 1.11.4 its not included
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
I will test it, but how to check cache size? QSI tells it is 148 Mb, and that is wrong.

EDIT:

you can check it from terminal with:

bash-3.2# df -h | grep cache
/dev/block/mtdblock4 40.0M 1.1M 38.9M 3% /cache
/dev/block/mtdblock5 147.6M 31.8M 115.9M 22% /cache/download
bash-3.2#

So it is 40 Mb.

Will see after the script is used what is shown.
[Desire Android Development] kmaq:
i use "4 Partitions" and it works smoothly in SD class 2. "4 Partitions" works well in class 4 as well.

In GParted, you can choose ext4 more than once for new partition.
