I use Titanium Backup to backup/restore *APPS*... but to try and backup contacts/SMS/calls between ROMs with Titanium Backup is not a good idea, IMO.

Obviously, I use a gmail account for my contacts.

"SMS Backup & Restore" and "Call Logs Backup & Restore" (both are donation-ware, found in the Market, and written by Ritesh Sahu) are what I use when moving between ROMs. I also use both programs to automatically perform nightly backups to my SD card. Another free program called "AutoDeleteSMS Free" automatically removes text messages from my phone that are older than 2 weeks (this time is configurable). Finally, I use "SMS Backup +" to back up all SMS, MMS, and Calls to my gmail account on the fly. With this setup my phone and SD card can be destroyed/lost and I will never lose anything.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] HTCotta:
1.6.3 would be awesome. I reverted back to 1.4.29 because it's smooth as butter but i'd love another update.

Has anybody ever had the problem of market not recognizing that you have restored all your apps with Ti Backup? Never happened to me before but this time when I came back to 1.4.29 and restored my apps the market doesn't know they're there, I've rebooted a few times to no avail. Frustrating because then no updates. Anyone know how I can remedy this?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] mcarrion78:
Gotta be patient. I'm sure Bcnice20 is workin on something. They update miui so damn much that its hard to keep with them. Especially since I think Bc is the only maintaining miui for the shift. Wish I knew what to id definitly lend a helping hand.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
1.6.10 is almost out, I think Bnice should release that instead of working on 1.6.3
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] noskoviak:
Bc is been having a really busy month so I hear in the irc on miuius. Give him some time he's done great work for us and hell probably do it again :) speaking of 1429 and 99percent I'm going to do tht tonight maybe... 1527 is only like 90 percent there. Dude with tb problems back up ur apps with the miui backup and it works better for some reason... plus 1527 is 2.3.4 and 1429 is 2.3.3 think that has something to do with it. May not be backwards compatible. Take care guys and have faith in the bc. Peace.

Is there a GPS fix? Id love to use it but can't.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
Did you wipe very well before flashing? My gps works amazing, better than any other rom. You may want to flash to a sense rom, get a gps fix, and then wipe and flash miui. I had to do that the first time I flashed any aosp rom.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] platinumrug:
Well on the regular CM my gps works just fine and on sense it works well too. Just on miui it doesn't work too well. I'll do what you suggested and give it a try, gonna be a pain in the ass getting everything setup again but hell I need the GPS. And yes, I wiped data and both cache's. Did I need to wipe anything else?

Gotta tap into your router and assign your phones mac address a certain ip to use

The ONLY thing I have against 1.4.29 is the camera and quality of the picture it takes on the update this problem was solved and camera quality where it should be. Yes I tried just adding the camera but it was a no go.

Hmmm my pics are crystal clear, have you tried an aftermarket app?

Pictures are clear but not like they are if running stock HTC rom
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
Just for ****s and giggles I pulled the camera app from 1.6.17 and pushed it to system/app fixed permissions and voila! here's a sample

Sent from my MiuiSpeedy
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] XtraWho:
When I did that the the camera looked just like the previous version perhaps I didn't get the permissions correct.... What did you set permissions to?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] e240:
Well I just wanted to know if anyone got wifi to work on the latest cuz there have been many improvements to it since 1.4.29 excluding wifi not working

Does wifi work for u?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] gamy2121:
I haven't done it yet

I don't have the pro rom manager so just waiting for the link, was jw if they did a fresh install or an overwrite.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
Its on the free version of rom manager for me... maybe try an update of rom manager through the market?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] HTCotta:
I wiped cache, dalvik cache, formatted system, and wipe data factory reset before applying 1.6.17.1 and can confirm the same wifi issue as before.

Also, you don't need the pro version of ROM Manager to dowload this ROM gamy2121, just get the free one.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] geekdaddy:
First experience w/MIUI -- so far so good

OK -- so I'm a bit new to the MIUI ROM for Evo Shift. Had some success with sense ROMs and other AOSP ROMs:

1. Froyo sense ROMs performed well but lacked new GB features.

2. GP sense ROMs (early revs) were laggy for me.

3. AOSP ROMs were ok and I liked functionality, but didn't like the UI so much.

From my initial POV, the MIUI ROM (1.4.29) is a terrific compromise. In many ways, offers better UI features vs sense and also includes the goodness of AOSP and it seems very responsive.

I'm not having any wifi or GPS lock issues.

Very pleased so far -- only wish I had 4G support although I rarely use it. Updated the kernel with TinyUC and hope the battery life is good...

Just a download mirror for 1.6.17.1 for the people who prefer not to download through ROM manager.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DWake014:
Running 1.6.17.1 and its pretty smooth, with just a few little hiccups. Loving the new lockscreen mods. Static ip worked for wifi, was slow after connecting but a reboot fixed that. I wish the stock torch was functional on our phones, extended controls torch widget works for now.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
You can get torch to work if you use the torch app from cm7 and push it to system/app

Sent from my MiuiSpeedy
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DWake014:
Thank you sir! That was my biggest complaint lol. I love root explorer, took about 15 seconds since I had stable cm7 on my sdcard already.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
No problem, it was one of my biggest quirks as well, that why I did a lil experimenting. Even holding the home button on the lockscreen makes it come on as well. Bc should incorporate this fix into the rom its self! Wish I knew what files to mess with for wifi, id take a crack at getting a stable 1.6.17. Guess we are still stuck with 1.4.29 cause I know I'm not using anything but Miui!

Sent from my MiuiSpeedy
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DWake014:
I think the wifi issues are probably kernel related. Wifi is my only issue now and I can live with using a static ip for the time being.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
If it were kernel related wouldn't one of the kernels work? 1.6.17 is still based on a .32 kernel and the .35 kernels won't even boot with it. I could deal with static ip but I use multiple wifi networks throughout the day.

Here you go guys, Miui 1.7.1 for the HTC Evo Shift. The build prop hasnt been edited yet so it still shows 1.6.27 but it is a direct port from the HTC G2 1.7.1. I need some people to test it out and see if anyone has any ideas to getting Wifi working.
