If you read nothing else, scan the OP at least but here's to your 1st question:

MIUI XJ is my (Xavierjohn22's) MIUI version which has 3 ROM types:

ROM Types: A2SD/A2SD+, D2W, D2EXT -PART

Why? Really just to provide a choice between what's currently popular in terms of data partitions. Data2Whatever (D2W) and Data2Ext (D2EXT) to really cater for people with lotsa apps etc etc...very high quadrant scores on these.

2nd que: should be OK to run a custom HBOOT so long as it meets minimum requirements to fit the System/Cache/Data. Which setup are you thinking of using?
​
[Desire Android Development] maxiv:
I got it to work!!!!

can i use themes from previous MIUI versions (e.g. 1.2.11) for the gingerbread versioN?

edit: i downloaded the GSM version for my german desire.

i cant get any network connection though and also 3g doesn't work...what am i doing wrong?
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Sounds like a bad flash. Please verify that the HBOOT has indeed gone back to default. So in FASTBOOT menu check that at top it says "AlphaRev" and not "AlphaRev Oxygen" or something like that. And if so, I'd advise you flash again afresh.

Hi,

Is it normal that I can't manage to delete Maxthon web browser ?

I have tried with Root Explorer by r/w mouting /system/app , but that result in a fail ...

More generally it seems I can't delete any .apk system with this ROM..

Is there any solutions?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Any application that is able to remove system apps, I usually use rom toolbox, I think the lite edition allows you to do that if I'm not mistaken.

I guess you can also delete the updater and feedback I think.

[Desire Android Development] malaspina_speaking:
Hi, I've flashed this ROM and everything is nice and good, but I have a small request.

My Desire has the faulty proximity sensor that always blacks out the screen during calls regardless of where the phone is, making it impossible to close calls or use the screen in any way during calls.

In other MIUI ROMs I tried (and which I abandoned because they had problems with a2sd), the Dialer settings had the option, under Answer features, to completely disable the proximity sensor.

In this ROM there is a similar, but less powerful option, that only disables the proximity sensor to prevent accidental in-pocket touches. It doesn't disable it during calls, which is what I need.

With previous GB ROMs I could edit build.prop adding gsm.proximity.enable=false to completely disable the sensor, but it doesn't work in this ROM and with MIUI in general.

The play store app "Hardware disabler" doesn't work either.

I tried pushing Phone.apk from another MIUI GB ROM which had the option to completely disable the sensor, but it must incompatible since it gives me FCs.

So what I'm asking is: does anyone know how to disable the proximity sensor, either just in-call or completely?

Latest XJ ROM XPART atroy kernel

Question: does Jon Richards Battery Calibrator work with XPART? If I follow this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9583271&postcount=340 it doesn't allow me to save the settings at 1c. I see JukyO had the same problem, and someone else said they didn't and then a few months later JukyO saying that it works but I can't find the missing bit that says how to get the values saved.

Maybe a diffrent kernel is needed? In which case, maybe ManU kernel (which I think works with xpart - shout if it doesn't!).

Hello there! I just decided to try the good old XJ rom after a year or so since the last time.

I'm thinking of changing the rom from CM7 kangs to something new. What I really need from rom are the abilities found in CyanogenMod Settings menu, meaning:

- ability to bind Home, Search and Menu keys to extra functions/programs (long/short press)

- trackball wakeup

- pattern lockscreen

- ability to set higher than stock frequencies

Also, I hate that MIUI doesn't have an app drawer and puts the app icons all over the place. Is it possible to use some CM-like drawer?

And how is the battery life compared to CM?

Can someone explain what exactly is the script in X-Part doing?

I need to know the details because

a - to compare it to other scripts, like INT2EXT4+.

b - I'm working on a script that would create swap partition in the internal memory of the phone (much faster than even the fastest sd cards)
[Desire Android Development] jbbandos:
Hi,

I used for a long time and adapted the xpart script on the Nexus one, and what it did was to create loop file systems on the ext partition(s) for a bit more speed, and it kept dalvik and some system data in the old /data partition, which made a big speed difference. I think the Desire xpart script was similar.

Swap was done in the sd, if you had created a swap partition. Doing swap in the internal memory was seen as a risk, due to memory "wear" issues. A swap file there could potentially generate a large amount of writes in a relatively small time, leading to memory failures.
[Desire Android Development] impactor:
Yes but swap in internal memory is being recreated in different physical space of memory on every boot.

Is there any resource that describes this 'wear' effect on memory chip? I am sure the wear exists but nowhere did I find any reliable information by how much putting a swap in internal memory would decrease memory lifespan. Even if it reduces it by 66%, if 34% = 5 years, then who cares?
[Desire Android Development] jbbandos:
I think there were some specifications of the maximum number of writes, something around 10000 per cell, but I don't have that data; you'll have to Google for it.
[Desire Android Development] InsaneNutter:
You cant, thats the one thing that annoyed me about MIUI. Other than that it's by far the best rom for the HTC Desire. I used it for a year before upgrading to a Galaxy Nexus.

Still got a soft spot for the Desire and tinker with mine :)
[Desire Android Development] impactor:
Yeah, I got to that. However, it IS possible on JB-based MIUI so when it is mature enough, I might switch.
[Desire Android Development] :
I love the MIUI ROM, have used it since it was in very early translation!

However, I am confused as hell as to all the different versions etc. It's a minefield of info and seems very complex. The beginning of this thread looks like it's STILL in Chinese for all I understand about it lol.

I have an old school htc desire, running miui, the memory is always full. I wanted a new miui rom which will transform my now (old) desire back to its glory days with a nice amount of internal storage.

I also don't understand whether to flash a froyo or gingerbread rom? Can you update your android version?

As you can see, I'm totally confused but willing to try whatever it takes! Could anyone point me in the right direction here?

Hi Guys

I am planning to install A2SD version of this ROM, can someone please help answering this questions ?

How many partitions are needed ? I mean one ext or 2 ext partition and how about swap and what size it they should be, i have got 8 GB class 4 SD card.

once we have proper partition, does installing this ROM requires any other script for A2SD to work or it works automatically.

Please, please, help me.
[Desire Android Development] x3m.zone:
One 1024MB EXT3 or EXT4

No need for SWAP.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
And you can use xpart. No need to activate anything after installation.
[Desire Android Development] tsubus:
this looks interesting, will check it out.

quick question: i am planning to use the d2ext x-part rom. I am a little unclear about the partitioning. If I want to use swap, it states to create 4 partitions. What is the third EXT3/4 partition for? Also, what kind of improvements are noticeable with the use of swap? I have a 16GB class 10 sd.
[Desire Android Development] impactor:
How does the X-part compare to Link2SD regarding battery life consumption?

If X-Part stores ALL apps on the sd card that means the card is more often read/written (at rw SD card uses even 30 times more power). Therefore, it consumes more power than if the (at least most often used) apps were stored in the internal memory.

On a similar note, I wonder if there is any battery consumption difference between X-part and Mounts2SD or Int2Ext, as X-part uses loop devices which are not being used by the others.

Does anyone know enough on the subject to comment?
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
So. First one is obviously fat32. 2nd one should be ext3/ext4, 1024 Mb, 3rd one ext3/ext4 300 Mb. And last one is swap, 256 Mb should be enough. This was my setup during a very good trip with XJs MIUI XPART.

I have used XPART for almost a year. Battery life was around 48 hrs, with normal use.

But I cannot discuss technically, since I have never gone deep into it.
[Desire Android Development] Acudor:

[Desire Android Development] tsubus:

[Desire Android Development] kiwell:
Even if rw SD card use 30 times more power (I don't think so), what is cosumption battery of the memory card? May be in one day 1%? Is this 1% usefull?

Now my experience, I used this rom since the end of developpement, for a long time I used it with ext4 partition, some month without ext4 and some month with a ext4 with a good alignation, and guess what? No difference in batterie consumption, 48h with a normal use ( a total of approximatly 2 hours screen on).
