So I began from scratch again and installed after a cleaning session just the latest Image from this thread here.

The Gapps from April were installed, too.

Is there now a way to increase the meager ram for system programs which cannot be moved? And if so, could someone point me to the location and or helps out directly.

An 1GB EXT3 partition is on the sdcard. But its not in use.



----
Maybe this here sounds absolute idiotic, but has anyone tried to solder new ram to the Nexus One (like 2 GB or similar?)

I really want to go back to stock Gingerbread and stock partitioning but try as I might, I cannot find a simple guide to do this.
Can anyone point me the right way?

I have persevered with the slight issues but getting bigger issues and just want to swap back and I am also giving the phone away to make room for the new Nexus 4 :) so don't want to pass the issues on to anyone.

I don't even have the original linux installation I did this on to try to retrace my steps.

I have just done a nandroid restore from recovery and everything is set back to old Gingerbread.
Would this have also set the partitions to default?

<EDIT>
No it didn't.

You may find the flashable .zip file of hboot for stock partitions in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1637166
The steps for flashing this hboot via recovery are also outlined in this thread.
Once you have restored the stock partitions, wipe everything via recovery and restore the nandroid backup of Gingerbread that you have.
Hope this helps ;)

PS: This is not the right thread for questions regarding partitions. You will get better assistance if you post on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1270589 instead or the one I mentioned earlier.

How can I get quick setting in status bar like the screen shots in OP?

Pull down the notification bar then swipe left or right (may only work in one direction... I can't remember) to show the quick settings. The quick settings are on a different "page" than where notifications appear. This is different from how Cyanogenmod works so it may be the cause of your confusions. I was confused the first time I tried this out too :) Hope this helps.

Stuck SIM Card added!

I've flashed this ROM. Everything is ok but when I install more apps it reports Low storage. I've changed to apps2sd by

su
a2sd install

I've partitioned my sdcard by 4EXT Recovery Touch with 1Gb ex4

After install apps2sd, my phone always hang and stuck at "SIM Card added, you must restart your device..." and when run any app it's very slow.

I installed: Unofficial build from lacus88: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29127460&postcount=4273

and Gapps: http://d-h.st/AxV

Please help me to run my phone smooth and stable! Thanks!

Please help me to run my phone smooth and stable! Thanks!

Somebody corrects me if i am wrong, but the only smooth and feature full ROM for the nexus one is the nightly official CM7 one. and even that one have USB tethering problems sometimes.

just install that and you should be fine. SD apps by default, but that won't buy you more space as the main system memory will still get filled even when installing apps to the SD.

    Evervolv is maintained by MongooseHelix, Preludedrew, and myself. Our goal is to bring ice cream sandwich to unsupported devices guided by the aosp philosophy, everything we do is opensource and transparent to the public. Visit our Gerrit or Github.
    We have a few customizations such as:
    • Androidian Theme
    • Battery percent
    • QwikWidgets
    • Six bar signal strength
    • Standalone power widgets
    • Tri State lockscreen with customizable actions
    • Trackball / Volume wake
    • Volume button music controls
    All of these can be turned off or set back to aosp apperance via our EVToolbox for those that wish to have a pure google look.

    I originally started porting ICS to my beloved nexus one the very same day google released the source back in November. I had very little knowledge and no experience porting android. It took 2 days to sort countless build errors and get it booting, only a few days later i was able to release my first alpha (where absolutely nothing worked) It has come a long way since then, with hundreds of hours invested on my part and undying support from this wonderful commutity, I am pleased to announce: as of 2.1.0p11 this rom is /almost/ stable. However it will remain in alpha/beta (whatever you want to call it) a while longer, but the majority of people will find this usable as a daily driver.

    For those of you not following this thread. You may not know my nexus died. As in the NAND finally gave out ((bootloader) rbchk: Total 1191 bad blocks!!). And I was able to get a replacement on ebay for $142.50 USD. Paid for entirely with your donations! Thank you to everyone who donated (i can't appreciate it enough). I look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest Ice Cream Sandwich to your n1's.

    I have spent many hours and sleepless nights on this. So if you like it please feel free to hit that donate button above that picture of me.

      A: Easiest way that seems to do the trick: Goto: Evervolv Toolbox -> Performance -> Processor -> change Min Freq to 384Mhz

    You must install blackrose hboot before flashing ICS. Instructions.

    BlackRose
    You must increase the size of the system partiton to fit ICS to at least 210MB
    *4/14* I had previously recommended 210 system but am now changing that back to 220. The size of ICS and mainly Gapps is growing and with 210 system on the a2 release, after gapps there is only 6mb free space. That doesnt give me very much room to grow on and can cause problems with people who have bad blocks on the system partiton.

    RECOMMENDED: System 220MB Cache 10MB Data 206MB Download

    System 210 Cache 8 Userdata 218 Download
    (or make your own with the Blackrose installer).
    All past builds will work just fine on either layout 210 and 220
    Future builds might not fit on 210 as of a2 it is pushing it.
    If you are installing for the first time choose the 220mb system.

    Flash:
    Code:
    fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcrust_220-10-206-ICS.nb0
    fastboot reboot-bootloader
    fastboot -w
    If it flashed correctly: after the 'reboot-bootloader' command you will see TexasICS on the second line (under blackrose)

    Keep up with latest developments

    To build Evervolv
    Code:
    repo init -u git://github.com/Evervolv/android.git -b ics
    . build/envsetup.sh
    breakfast passion
    mka

    To flash the img files.
    Code:
    tar xjf <release name>.tar.bz2
    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot -w
    fastboot flash system system.img
    fastboot flash boot boot.img

    Here is the final version: http://ev-dl1.deuweri.com/Perdo/Evervolv-Perdo-2.2.0-Final-passion.zip

    GAPPS:
    • (latest are posted to mongoosehelix twitter page) or dl here 5-20-release (thanks TuSKan for the mirror)
    • Gapps are NOT included in the rom. Reasons for this is 1) smaller upload for me 2) Gapps seem to be the source of most peoples problems. This way you can flash whatever version or package you want/works best (or even make your own custom gapps package)

    THESE ARE NOT FLASHABLE: push or copy to /system/media/bootanimation.zip with adb or root explorer.


    Evervolv-Perdo-2.2.0a5-passion (6/23)
    • main thing here is camcorder, native omx encoding is working but decoding is still broke so you can record videos but cant play them back. Issues: video is capped at 15fps so it is a little choppy, recorded video is rotated 90 degrees
    • usb tether support: not native, using the motorola usb app not included (push to /system/app then the toggle in settings will work) i'll probably never include this app in the build since it runs as a service and that bothers me
    • be sure to check out new options in the evtoolbox (lockscreen and interface) and the new evtips widget
    • and get the new gapps installer from bexton

    • kernel updated: kgslv3.8, tiny rcu optimizations, autogroup, bfqv3r2, smartassv2, armv7 changes from caf

    For older builds look at Post#3.
    68
    About apps2sd:
    • rewrote for more awesomeness
    • more interactive, asking yes/no questions
    • no more symlinks! we are bind mounting everything now
    Notes:
    • Wont work with a2sdgui
    • a2sd install only needs to be run once. it will continue to work even after full wipes (as long as you dont format /sd-ext)

    This is the build in help menu:
    Code:
    Available commands are:
    install   : sets a2sd flag
    remove    : clears a2sd/dc2sd flags
    align     : runs zipalign on all apks
    fixapk    : runs fix_permissions on all apks
    partlist  : shows if ext[3/4] is supported
    diskspace : shows disk usage on /sd-ext
    cachesd   : sets dc2sd flag
    cleancache: clears dalvik-cache
    nocachesd : cleancache and clears dc2sd flag
    xdata     : bind mount /data to /sd-ext/xdata
    noxdata   : clears xdata flag
    formatext : format /sd-ext to ext4
    checkext  : checks /sd-ext for errors
    • most of the heavy lifting is done in the 10apps2sd init.d script a2sd mostly sets flags for 10apps2sd to pickup and respond appropriately
    • everything 10apps2sd does is logged to logcat (At the very beginning under the evervolv banner)
    • in some cases a2sd will ask if you would like to reboot now. This is just to give you time to read the output of the command you typed. you should always respond 'y' to this question.
    A few notes:
    • install: moves apps on internal /data/app to /sd-ext/app then removes them from /data/app to free up space and changes the mount point to /sd-ext/app. NOTE: even though the mount point is changed the /data size reported by android will not change. That is just how it is. If you want to see how much space you have type 'df' into terminal emulator and look for the entry /data/app. It will be identical to /sd-ext. (i.e)
      Code:
      Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
      ...
      /dev/block/mmcblk0p2      1.4G    123.1M      1.2G   9% /sd-ext
      /dev/block/mmcblk0p2      1.4G    123.1M      1.2G   9% /data/app
      /dev/block/mmcblk0p2      1.4G    123.1M      1.2G   9% /data/app-private
      ...
      EDIT: moving AppData is now supported just choose y when asked.
    • remove: does not remove the apps on the /sd-ext partion nor does it move them back to /data it simply removes the a2sd/dc2sd flags so new apps are placed in /data/app instead of /sd-ext/app and the dalvik cache is placed in /data/dalvik-cache instead of /sd-ext/dalvik-cache. Why don't we move the apps back to internal storage? well if you are using a2sd in the first place it is because you had too many apps for interal storage so your /sd-ext/app directory is likely much too large to fit on /data. You will just have to restore the apps you want to use or reinstall them.
    • cachesd: mounts data/dalvik-cache to /sd-ext/dalvik-cache. most people will experince problems with this (i.e. no mic, random reboots). this is not a2sd's fault. dalvik-cache is used very often and doesn't like the lag of being on the sdcard. NOTE: all dalvik-cache commands (cachesd, cleancache, nocachesd) nuke the dalvik-cache and rebuild on reboot making the reboot take longer than usual (just the once after you run the command)
    • xdata: still highly experimental but basically mounts the entire /data partiton on /sd-ext giving you the entire size of your /sd-ext partition available to data. In this case android will detect the new size of the /data partition and report it correctly. NOTE: doing this will not result in any data loss the /data partition. it is simply cloned into /sd-ext/xdata (as well as any apps in /sd-ext/app) and then xdata is mounted ontop of /data (which just covers it up, preserving the contents). So there isn't too much risk in trying it. but i do warn significant performance loss will be noticed on ...well any sdcard. But high quality class6 or class10 won't be as nocitable.
    • noxdata: this will revert your phone the the way it was before you ran xdata. so any changes made to the phone while using xdata will be lost.
    • formatext: formats your /sd-ext partiton to ext4. this will erase everything on it!

    I might have a preview available with full hwa by this weekend. I've got it partially working but also have a job now so have spent considerably less time working on android. the kernel is booting (at least) and i have a display. still some issues with gralloc to sort... plus power management for the gpu might be broke but im not sure about that yet.

    My goal is to have a 100% functional/full featured ics build for the nexus one by the end of the month.
    32
    pre-pre-alpha-8
    Massive update to kernel. Now built with proper ics opengl support
    Only for serious testers! Requirements. Adb installed and functional. You need to be able to read logcat and (at least attempt to) narrow down what is causing your problem.
    If you get a lockup or unexplained reboot please (turn phone back on) and do 'adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg' then pastbin that to me. (It should have the kernel panic reason at the very end)
    Notably broke:
    auto rotation: sometimes phone locksup and requires a battery pull. so lets disable auto rotate. evtoolbox> statusbar> notiftoolbox> add widget> autorotate then use the notification toolbox to disable it (icon is broke so when you press it nothing happens but it is disabled) and when it works the screen is offcenter so statusbar is covered
    camera: preview is black but still takes pictures
    general: sometimes on transitions there is a weird screen 'stutter', somelive wallpapers stutter when scrolling screens, display off animation its enabled and everything but still not working for some reason. (EDIT: ok so i enabled the fade effect not the old tv style screen off animation)
    Notably working:
    wallpapers are centered and scroll, gallery seems to work better

    gapps not included (dl the latest from mongoosehelix twitter page)(http://goo.gl/fXET8)
    no flashable zips...fastboot images only
    dev-host removed their remote url upload feature (i've already complianed about it)
    so this is hosted on my google storage account
    http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/evervolv/Evervolv-Perdo-2.1.0pre-p8-passion.tar.bz2

    im not updating the op with this since its for testing only

    please use the bugtracker and report issues. dont forget the logcat and dmesg!
