Almost disjoint refinements and mixing reals

We investigate families of subsets of $ω$ with almost disjoint refinements in the classical case as well as with respect to given ideals on $ω$. More precisely, we study the following topics and questions: 1) Examples of projective ideals. 2) We prove the following generalization of a result due to J. Brendle: If $V\subseteq W$ are transitive models, $ω_1^W\subseteq V$, $\mathcal{P}(ω)\cap V\not = \mathcal{P}(ω)\cap W$, and $\mathcal{I}$ is an analytic or coanalytic ideal coded in $V$, then there is an $\mathcal{I}$-almost disjoint refinement ($\mathcal{I}$-ADR) of $\mathcal{I}^+\cap V$ in $W$, that is, a family $\{A_X:X\in\mathcal{I}^+\cap V\}\in W$ such that (i) $A_X\subseteq X$, $A_X\in \mathcal{I}^+$ for every $X$ and (ii) $A_X\cap A_Y\in\mathcal{I}$ for every distinct $X$ and $Y$. 3) The existence of perfect $\mathcal{I}$-almost disjoint ($\mathcal{I}$-AD) families, and the existence of a "nice" ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on $ω$ with the property: Every $\mathcal{I}$-AD family is countable but $\mathcal{I}$ is nowhere maximal. 4) The existence of $(\mathcal{I},\text{Fin})$-almost disjoint refinements of families of $\mathcal{I}$-positive sets in the case of everywhere meager (e.g. analytic or coanalytic) ideals. We prove a positive result under Martin's Axiom. 5) Connections between classical properties of forcing notions and adding mixing reals (and mixing injections), that is, a (one-to-one) function $f:ω\toω$ such that $|f[X]\cap Y|=ω$ for every $X,Y\in [ω]^ω\cap V$.
