Hi ross_ctr,

Glad that you asked. And it has been discussed before. Both chambo622 and kenkiller had raised this and I have replied them on this over at the development thread. It started in #2373 onwards.

See also the following few pages after post 2373. freakfingers12 perspective as well. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Hi,

If you were on Samsung stock rom, you would have noticed that the battery drain for the 1st 25% will be slightly faster than the rest of the 75%. They have normalized it to 100% when it is actually not. Which also explains why, after you flashed and wipe batterystats, the first few times you won't be able to charge it to 100%. Don't worry too much, because you didn't lose any battery power. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghostclass:
Hey, someone has probably posted something like this already, but here is a mini FAQ with some common questions...Is it possible to give me edit permissions to the first post or something? I'd be happy to keep an updated FAQ going while the rom is still in RC (and hence has a lot of people asking the same questions over and over). It is really hard finding answers in the dev thread and I can see this thread being the same...

I'm keeping the FAQ in a notepad document so I can share it easily, so if you know a question and answer - PM it to me and I'll add it. Also (time permitting) I will be going through this and the dev thread to find more common questions and answers. If any of my questions/answers look wrong, let me know so I can fix them up. :)

Q: Do I need to be on a froyo firmware before I start the install process

A: It is recommended, however users have reported going from 2.3.3 to MIUI succesfully.

Q: What is the best froyo ROM to start from?

A: JP1. Why? JP1 contains an important dbdate.rfs file, that restores your Bootloader correctly. Others contain this file before anyone says, but JP1 contains one which restores and repairs any broken loader.

Q: Data/Signal won't work! What gives?!

A: This is a polling problem, turn off your screen using the power button, then turn it back on and you should get signal.

Q: Theme downloader won't work...how do I download themes?

A: Theme downloader is currently not working (as of RC2) use the 'Online Themes' tab in THEME MANAGER to download new themes

Q: I downloaded a theme with a cool looking lockscreen, but it doesnt apply when I select the theme...?

A: This is becuase the themes are created for Froyo, not gingerbread...hopefully custom lockscreen will work in the future. You can use 1 of the 2 bonus lock screens included in the first post however

Q: The 3g/WiFi/Signal bars turn green sometimes, is this a bug?

A: No, this just means you are currently connected to googles sync servers.

Q: Apps from the market wont download, they just 'load' forever...how do I fix it!?

A: This will generally happen if you are using 3g/H to download apps. Go to the 'Downloads' app on your homescreen, then press the menu touch key, then select Use 3g. Once that is selected, apps should download via your mobile data network.

Q: The Default kernel that comes with MIUI doesnt have BLN/OC/UV - is there a working kernel that can do this with MIUI?

A: Yes, use a kernel from Bilboa, all of his releases can be found here: http://kang.project-voodoo.org/ - Flash them at your own risk!

Q: My display doesnt look right (weird colour) how do I fix this?

A: Use a bilboa Kernel and download the voodoo control app from the market - use this to calibrate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghostclass:
Hey guys, just a few questions (which I'll add to my faq once answered! :) )

1. Does MIUI support 'H' data (HSUPA?)? I used to get 'H' rather than 3g (which is faster?) but I don't seem to get it in MIUI.

2. I notice that changing theme makes the off screen animation (CRT style thing) stop working...is there a way to fix this other than doing a fresh flash? I'll be flashing it tonight when I get back from work anyway, just wondering.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Although there is no 'H' icon, we still get hsdpa speed. This is also the same as cm7 rom. Of course, if you had disabled when you were on speedmod, then there is only the 3g speed only.

This rom does not different 3g and H, in terms of icons. In terms of real time, it is confirmed that we get 'H' speed at 3g icon.

Your second question, I won't be able to answer as I'm still in beta8r2. But changing themes does not affect your tv animation off when your screen goes to sleep.

P/s: With your permission, I would like to add your FAQs to the front page. Credit will be given to you of course. May I? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghostclass:
Hey Goondu,

Thanks for the answer, thought that may have been the case.

And as for my second question, I figured it out. Basically, in the display setrtings, under animation, there are 2 toggles: Turn On Animation and Turn Off Animation. The the TURN ON Animation button, by default was set to what I would call 'off' (it DIDNT have the blue bit on the toggle indicator). The TURN OFF Animations appeared to be 'on' (it DID have the blue bit on the toggle indicator). So basically to me it looked like animations were turned off, but they were actually on and I had turned them off by mistake. Is this how it is supposed to be? It doesnt seem right to me... (unless of course having the blue bit showing on the toggle button DOES mean off...)

And lastly, yes, of course you can use the FAQs :) If I end up adding to it majorly, I will send it to you in a PM so you can update it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Naeem786:
nice work g00ndu
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Thanks ghostclass, appreciate your help. I have started updating some tips and tricks in the first page. Hopefully we can get a long list of them from the users.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sago62:
hello guys, I InstallTo this rom ... just fantastic! u have problem, I can not delete all contacts together .... it's a nice problem!

Another problem, you should expect the power of the screen to have swpegnimento network ...

help me? thanks ....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Thanks, Naeem786. Well, like I say in the 1st post, this is created with the MIUI users in mind. It belongs to them. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Hi, my italian friend, ;)

Glad you like the rom. I guess you have 2 problems.

1. You cannot mass delete contacts. This I will need to check first. Will get back to you.

2. There is no network for you right? There are a few possibilities on this, and the most simpliest solution is to click the power button off, wait awhile, click the power button again. You will see the lockscreen. Unlock the lockscreen, and see if you can see the 3g icon at the top right corner.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sago62:
In fact, by turning off the screen and then back on the network appears! there will be a rc3 for all these problems? usb, 3g network, store, etc. ....

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] angky94:
Actually u can mass delete contacts. just go to Programs -> Manage apps -> All -> contacts storage. click it and press clear data and ur contacts are gone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Thanks, angky94. Looks like creating this thread here is paying off. Good one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
The 3g lock / unlock power button is currently the only answer to getting 3g network. This is a problem with the RIL, which CM7 team also find it challenging to resolve this issue.

What problem you have with store and usb? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junyp:
One thing in noticed and yes i am lazy. Everytime i get the no sim issue i just remove the imei folder and nv files and reboot it will just work and the phone somehow the phone restore or recreate the correct files for me

Another bug .... nor download from the 3G network instead of market.scarica with wifi ....

with 3g applanet discharge ... why?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ujjwal321:
i have the network error in all the MIUI beta ROMs.

I suddenly loose signal and after some times I get signal...

this happens very 5-6 minutes...

everything else about this ROM is great.. but I have not been able to use this ROM due to this signal problem...

I have not found much information about this problem.. except few other people also are facing this problem...

It would be great if somebody could find the solution or at least the reason..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sago62:
I think you should make a revirgin ezbase and then flash with beta5 or 6 and then rc2 ... I worked ...

should always update the kernel bilboa last?

what is "to make a revirgin ezbase"??? can you elaborate??

I have flashed 3-4 radios that used to work perfectly on the froyo ROM...

I have this problem in all cyanogenmod based ROMs...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junyp:
Are you switching alot between 3g and wifi!? Or just on mobile network? Can you please tell me what you tried so far?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galnet:
Thanks for the tip, but I've tried this in the past when my IMEI got set to the engineers IMEI code, 004*** and it wasn't successful. The IMEI files inside the IMEI folder never got recreated.

The only way to restore the IMEI for me was to revert back to JP1, and reflash. I've had feedback from users who where in this situation that the revert to JP1 works without failure!

There is a high risk by deleting the EFS and nv files that you can screw the IMEI up completley, I wouldn't advise people delete files that they haven't a clue what the outcome could be.

Just my two cents! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sago62:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] junyp:
You are right. I got my files backup on sd and mostly flash another radio. So That's why i called it lazy. Its that i dont know why it happends.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galnet:
It happens if there is an issue with the EFS Backup, or the EFS Backup file is missing from the ROM.

What should happen in theroy is the EFS Backup backups you EFS folder and then at the end of the flash the EFS Restore reverts the files back in the correct order. If any of this fails, then you have an issue.

Best kernel & modem for battery?

Just wondering what people have found is the best Kernel and Modem when it comes to battery life?

I'm running JPM modem and Bilboa's 20110327_16 Kernel. Undervolting (1300Mhz/-0mV, 1200Mhz/-0mV, 1000Mhz/-0mV, 800Mhz/-50mV, 600Mhz/-50mV, 400Mhz/-75mV, 200Mhz/-100mV, 100Mhz/-125mV).

Battery life has been pretty poor (I know that's a CM7 issue), went from 100% to 74% in 1.5hrs just listening to music in the MIUI player.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junyp:
If i understand you correctly this is not really a miui problem but more with the EFS backup?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junyp:
Never mind found the answer. But got more questions, ill read up on efs first. thnx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rumble6059:
Morning all fellow MIUI's.

Just wanted to post a 'tip' that i have used for a while since flashing from sammy ROMs to cm7 and then onto MIUI.

I keep seeing the re-occuring question as to weather or not the phone is connected to HSDPA [high speed download packet access] when it states 3g.

In my experience, when you first boot up [for around 5-15 minutes] it stays on either 3G or UMTS [Universal Mobile Telecoms System - basically the version between 3G and HSDPA].

After that it does connect to HSDPA.

Now, the 'tip'...for all those that dont know there is a 'secret' testing menu that can be accessed by typing *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer [note this

MUST

be the stock dialer, it does not work with others, such as 'rocketdial'].

From this testing menu, go to phone information at the top you will see your imei, phone number and current network connection.

Look down from here and you will see a heading titled Network Type: - this is where it tells you what connection you have, either 3G, UMTS or HSDPA :-)

Hope this helps all those that are curious and what to check what connection they have.

Rumble
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ujjwal321:
OK this is what happens:

just on mobile network (2g)... I don't have 3g

I have followed the instructions given in first post exactly:

(I am on stock JPU ROM)

1. flash speedmod kernel

2. apply efs backup

3. flash cm7 galaxy s initial kernel.

4. flashed MIUI ROM in CWM.. with clear system, data, cache

After that the phone boots fine. but I cannot get signal..... after sometimes I get signal.. but every few minutes the signal goes.. .

I tried JPE, JPY, JPM modem..

I have found lots of 'RADIO DUMP' files in my internal sd card. I think that file is related to my problem..

THis happend in CM7 ROM also..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junyp:
I also have the radiodump files but no problems so that is not it. Maybe it has something to do with you not having 3g? Did you try the settings of 3g/2g in the battery settings

Or you can check the secret code *#301279# and see if they are correct.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ujjwal321:
have tried switching 2g/3g also..

I am seen few others also have the same problem..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junyp:
That didn't work for me maybe someone else got a solution
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sago62:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dr.bahaeddin:
ok reading from the beginning :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dr.bahaeddin:
dude i understand all the stuff and it makes sense.

i tried to combine initial.zip with update.zip, don't remember the result but appearently it didn't solve my problem either. but still i can use cm7 initial anyway :)

i'll try one more time with JVK then that's it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rumble6059:
sorry to ask, and im sure you've mentioned it before, but in cm7 initial do you have working wifi?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dr.bahaeddin:
yes when i try to update cm7 phone doesn't boot, stuck at SGS screen so i reflash initial-kernel via Odin and then phone boots but then Wifi got error. That's the main problem.

with MIUI i have same problem. this time when i flash MIUI no matter which version is, phone doesn't boot, stuck at SGS screen and i reflash initial-kernel via Odin then phone boots normally but this time Wifi got error.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galnet:
Right so if I understand you correctly by flashing initial-kernel you can boot into MIUI, but have a WIFI error?

If this is the case then grab yourself bilboa's kernel from: http://kang.project-voodoo.org/ and flash this via Recovery (3-button).. and hopefully after a reboot your WIFI should work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rumble6059:
in cm7,when updating have you only flashed the update.zip? or have you tried re-flashing the updated initial [which includes all the updates from the new update]?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dr.bahaeddin:
i tried so many kernels dude. all of them didn't boot my phone.

but try one more time again with all possible kernels.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galnet:
Get your phone booting into MIUI by the means you know how, and then flash the Kernel I was talking about via Recovery (NOT VIA ODIN) and you should have WIFI.

If this doesn't work then it was what was wrote, your phone doesn't like Custom Roms and your best bet is to stay on Official Roms from Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dr.bahaeddin:
i'm sorry i couldn't get your point. i flash update.zip via CWM. then reboot. this is the correct way right?

re-flashing the UPDATED INITIAL: i didn't see any updated initila man sorry. could u give me example. very confused right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dr.bahaeddin:
ok i'm doing exactly the same via CWM bro. then when i reboot phone stucks SGS screen.

Not all Custom Roms just CM7 updates and all MIUI :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rumble6059:
AFAIK when cm7 team produce an update, they also update the initial file to include all the updates, so if you were new to cm7 you would have the latest version when you flash it usining the initial and not have to flash that then flash the update. if that makes sense?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dr.bahaeddin:
you mean they change cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar with every update right?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/ so in this link the initial-kernel last modified at 18/03 man. isn't it the same with the one i have?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rumble6059:
i 'think' well am pretty sure that the cm7-galaxys-initial-20110318.zip is also updated everytime a new update comes out [because they rename the file with the new date]...so if you cant get MIUI booting then maybe try going back to JP1 then following the instructions for flashing cm7 initial [just make sure you re-download

all

the files needed for the flash.

maybe it'll work.

Rumble
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dr.bahaeddin:
dude i couldn't understand any of your saying. i have no problems with initial cm7. when i update cm7 [update means flashing it via CWM (recovery) right?] i reboot phone but phone stucks at SGS screen. in cm7 FAQ says:

My phone isn't booting after a update.

Unpack the update.zip and tar the zImage. After this flash the tar as pda using odin.

i tried so many times but this doesnt flash via Odin. it stuck in Odin at stage zImage. nothing happens.

if anyone download the latest cm7 update, open it, tar the zImage file for me i can try it too. maybe i'm mistaken with taring the zImage right?

anyway i couldn't success what in FAQ says so i flash initial-kernel via Odin and it boots my phone. but this time i got Wİfi error.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
I have just flashed MIUI ROM and its awesome. i have no complaints yet, i like everything about it, but i have only been running it half an hour lol.

one question i do have, when i select 'use only 2g networks' it just reverts back when i close the settings menu.

i have poor 3g coverage where i am and with 3g active i get no signal at all.

And another thing. Are there other kernels for this ROM ? im assuming they are the CM7 Kernels right ??

if so, do i just flash thru recovery and thats it :D ??

Theme

Hi guys!

First of all I love this rom very much, I really don´t have any bugs that I could not live with at all ^^

I just have a question: When I change the theme, everything applies well with one exception, the statusbar icons! They just change when I use the Lock Screen pack that was added in the dev miui thread.

I know that most themes wont work correctly because they are made for miui 2.2, but I saw some screens of users with the statusbar icons changed in the dev thread.

So my question is, is it just me doing something wrong or is it the same way for all of you? And are there allready some themes made for 2.3.3?

Thanks to all of you for all the work and the help that you share, can´t say that I was so happy about any rom release before ^^

cheers

ps sorry if my english is bad

[Galaxy S I9000 General] derrzredeem:
Hello,

So, from what i read you have manage to boot your phone with a WiFi error, am i correct?

CM7 initial kernel, doesn't include the files (in this case bcm4329.ko) needed for wifi to work - as far as i can tell these files are dependent to each kernel.

Now after your phone boots, i think the only thing you need to do is to flash another CM7 kernel (zach's or bilboa1's). Hope this will solve your issues.

Good luck. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rumble6059:
right...what i mean is...

so, when you flash the cm7 initial you dont have any wifi problems, right. but when you try and update [through CWM] you get a boot loop. is that right?

if it is...re-download the cm7 initial files from their host website and install [start back at JP1]. when it boots you shouldn't have any wifi problems right? because when you flash initial you dont get wifi problems? right.

there will be no need to flash the update file then as the initial has been updated to include all the updates from the update.zip

@derrzredeem added your quote as i beleive he can get wifi working on the cm7 initial, so maybe not Kernel related
[Galaxy S I9000 General] derrzredeem:
@Rumble6059

ok, now i'm confused...lol ^^

he's in a bootloop after flashing MIUI from CM7, right?

then he unpack CM7 update_package.zip, and took the zImage out and .tar it,

and he flash it using odin.

now the phone boots, but he's got a wifi error, am i right?

if this the case, then flashing existed CM7 custom kernel should fix the wifi error, as the kernel included other /system files needed for wifi (cifs.ko, tun.ko, bcm4329.ko)...as i stated above.

EDIT:

@dr.bahaeddin

you could try the following:

- makes sure you had a sdcard/backup/efs

- boot to recovery (CWM3)

- format /system, /data, /cache

- then flash MIUI to the letter - mentioned on the other MIUI thread
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shivajibanerjee:
Recovery Mode from Download mode:

Its the same , WHILE IN DOWNLOAD MODE

1. Press & Hold the Vol Up+Home Button+Power till the Screen goes off and the samsung logo appears

(Do Not release when screen goes blank)

Backtrack procedure

Same as with anyother ROM , flash with odin.

Might have to change kernel before flashing(Depends on ROM)
