Could people please test my last 4 builds? Also, delete sensors herring from lib/hw in deano's build and report back please. Maybe the conflicting sensors goldfish and herring are the source of flicker. If that doesn't help, add sensors default from our cm7 port. Maybe that'll help.

EDIT: NVM, I made that build. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38805599/miui 1.8.19 with sd fix and hopefully screen fix.zip

Please try the other four too though
[Epic 4G Android Development] atoore:
Like I said in my previous posts, the gralloc libs might be causing the flicker issue. Afaik it doesn't matter how many garroloc.*.so you got inside the lib/hw folder as long it points to YOUR device's correct platform name inside the build.prop. For examples

gralloc.s5pc110.so is for the galaxy s 4g

gralloc.leo.so is for the HTC hd2

gralloc.goldfish.so is not for your device afaik.

You will need to find your device platform name and edit the build.prop with the correct name.

You guys mentioned that cm7 doesn't have the flickers right? Well I suggest that you use the gralloc.****.so from the working cm7 build and see what happeneds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
In our CM7 Alpha 4 it's Gralloc.s5pc110.so which is being used and in the Alpha their is no flicker and also in Beta 1 it remains the same and there is no flicker.

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
Trying it later :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] atoore:
I see. Well by just placing that lib inside the hw folder it won't be used. It has to be stated on the build.prop. Can you guys get me a picture of the flicker? I will see what I can do to help..
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
I'm looking into both Build.props from CM7 Beta 1(Without Flicker) and MIUI located within /System and the Build.prop contains nothing pertaining to Gralloc.s5pc110.so or otherwise. Now could the line be added within the build.prop and if so where would it need to be located to redirect properly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] atoore:
Search for this line in build.prop

ro.board.platform=

If its not there you should add it

ro.board.platform=s5pc110

Do you guys got a ported cm7? Or it was compiled from source? Also, are you guys using the gralloc.default.so from the cm7 build?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Our CM7 is a hacked together version until the team gets official GB source...whenever we actually get an official release
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
That's odd then, that line is present in the the build.prop but the lib is not. So I'm going to try to see what I can do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Thanks bro, but we already have this in our build.prop.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Anyone that wants to test my builds, follow @Epic4GMIUI on twitter. Don't want to clutter the thread with a bunch of dead links.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brett10:
I'd be willing to test out some builds. What one should I start with?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
I just flashed the last link you posted, it got past the samsung boot screen and made it to the actual miui and it still flickers but it works. I attempted adding the missing Gralloc file but I didn't sign the .zip I made so that failed. Haha. But Gralloc.s5pc110.so is present even in our leaks so I think it's something of some merit to our screen flicker issues, we need both default and s5pc110.so perhaps.

What do you want me to test on this one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
So far on twitter, I have the same links as posted here, but in the future, they'll all be posted on there until I can fix something or the build is improved.

@aprosamurai

Just use your archiver (WinZip, Winrar, 7-Zip, whatever) and add the files from CM7 without extracting, just drag and drop and it'll work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Just go down the line. start with the first one i posted and end with the last.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Adding the one file causes it to not boot. Ironically enough.

Edit: But I'm about to go out now so I can't continue to test but I'll try testing later on tonight.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brett10:
7 Failed downloads and I'm going to give up trying to test one of these builds, well for a few hours because my internet is extremely ****ty. I'll try again around 11:30 CST.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Completely unrelated, but have you seen the movie Cedar Rapids? I thought it was horrible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brett10:
Actually I have, I agree it does suck. I was disappointed in it

You guys should see the movie rubber stange but different
[Epic 4G Android Development] sryans2004:
I will get you that picture tomorrow... or atleast try. Not only is there a screen flicker problem, but it is very slow and buggy so I dont know how well it will work. Market force close so I won't be able to install a screen cap prog, maybe I can use my real camera lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Has anyone tried any of the builds?
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
I can test some today. Same ones listed as yesterday? Any particular one you want tested first? Let me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Yeah, same as yesterday, no particular order, starting with the top is probly easiest.
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
Ok tested all 5.

1) miui "duh" version just booted up to black screen.

2) 1.9.2 cm7 froze qat samsung screen

3) 1.9.3 booted all the way up. Had worst screen flicker that i have seen yet. Super laggy. No phone or wifi. Physical keys were all rearranged.

4) 1.9.4 booted to black screen

5) miui 1.8.19 booted all the way up. Screen flicker was present, but random on what screen and intensity. So screen had zero flicker, like when doing google sign in, wifi screen etc. Seemed to be mainly on home screens. Lag was worst on home screen then system screens. No phone connection. Wifi scans, and sees networks, can log into but wont stay connected for more than 2 seconds and just keeps obtaining ip, connects diconnects obtain, etc. See my sd card but cant access anything on it. Like it shows i have 164 pic on it but go to load one up and it just sits there. I did not try gps.

So i hope this helps, need more info let me know. Or if you have more for me to try let me know. Thanks for your guys continuing efforts. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
OK, deleting everything except 1.8.19. Will try to fix. In the mean time, I ported Sense 3.5 from Droid Incredible 2, hopefully that boots. You can test that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
New build

Tried egl and hw from fascinate.
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
Ok dl now. Might be easier to get a hold of me on gtalk if you want. If so send me a pm. I work a swing shift so my hours are different from most.

Are you using the GB rom? please flash back as this rom is very broken lol

If your using 1.3.5 , 3g only works with the kernel it comes with. Twilight kills 3g but wifi is fine

No im using 1.3.5 and I'll switch to the original kernel and see what happens thanks. oh yea, wifi was my connection its sad that the wifi i steal works better than my home connection smh

lmfao might wana get that checked xD and yea 3g takes a sec but it turns on...i use this as a daily lol

We should be firing up Gb tonight. il be tackling hw problems

I had no idea what miui was until I started monitoring this thread. I plan on running this as my daily driver once the mms is fixed. I am extremely interested in this rom. You all are doing great work. If there is anyway that I can help, let me know. I can compile kernels, it would just take time because I dont have much free time.

Haha in a way you just answered a prayer lol mike is looking for someone who knows about kernels. He has one built but doesn't know how or what to add for overclock and things we need...I'll PM u his gtalk and see if you guys can get something working. Thanks!!!!

also for whatever its worth, yall do know that miui has a full fledged theme manager that will allow you to change just about anything from inside the rom...including boot animations

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
I picked up my sim free s2 today and it's awesome, but prior to picking it up I spent a load of money buying various payg sim cards to test for data performance. Minimum top up seems to be £10 these days (ouch) and this is what I got.

Please note when testing vodafone I used a contract sim and 3g was unavailable where I was in devon

Please note I did not test T-orange (as I'm already aware they are useless for data)

Please note all tests were done in west london and devon

Please note speed tests were done with www.speedtest.net

Please note all tests were done with full signal strength

Please note I used the "about: useragent" trick to let my phone view the true iplayer website

Tesco

This is actually using o2 behind the scenes.

Data rate 0.5 mbps this was pathetic but much worse than being slow, the data transfer was horribly uneven when downloading, you would get a burst of data and then wait literally a minute or 2 for the next burst, this behaviour meant that when attempting to download a newspaper (free press reader app from samsung) it would never complete.

Some kind of https (secure internet) issue meant it is unable to log into hsbc bank

BBC iplayer video streams were completely blocked by the network.

www.tvcatchup.com also does not work

I then tethered (via wifi) my phone to my laptop and repeated the tests to check if it was a device competency issue, the results were exactly the same.

O2

The results were exactly the same as tesco, unsurprising seeing as it's the same network except logging into hsbc worked perfectly.

I have it on good authority that giff gaff (also on o2) has similar poor data rates.

3

All I can say is WOW what a difference

Data rate steady at around 2.5mbps I can download a newspaper in a couple of minutes, no problems with secure websites the only nuisance was removing the content lock because apparently (according to 3) even torrent like websites are too mature for youngsters and are lumped into the same restricted category as hard porn websites

BBC iplayer works perfectly both on my phone and when tethered to a laptop as does www.tvcatchup.com

In general tethering to my laptop was a positive and speedy experience (for mobile) I actually went on to download a couple of gigabytes of data which was made possible because if you top up with £15 you can get unlimited data for 30 days, and I don't mean a fair use policy of 500 mb or 1gb, I mean TRULY unlimited. Also included with your £15 is 300 any net minutes and 3000 texts.

Lastly vodafone the king of data, peaking at 4mbps everything works well (until you run out of your measly 500 mb of data for the month and stump up more money for more data) also whilst vodafone has better coverage than 3 for voice 3 is winning for 3g coverage. The bottom line is vodafone is the best performer (when you can get it) but you will have to pay for it

In conclusion I'm keeping my 3payg sim all you can eat data for £15 including talk minutes and thousands of texts, seems like a good deal to me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DVC1985:
I use Giffgaff for my Galaxy Tab and I quite often get speeds of up to and around 1.5-2Mbps. Found them to be the best value for money considering what you get for your £10. I'll be switching to them full time once my Orange contract is up. I guess you kinda have to be lucky to live in an area with good O2 3G coverage.

Good testing though, mate. I was quite shocked to see Voda was getting up to 4Mbps. That 500MB limit would be a real killer for me, though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deanoaka:
Vodafone is completely useless in my area, they took down the mast when they destroyed the old Peugeot plant across from my house.

3 is not bad, always get a 3G signal apart from in the town centre.

But Orange is the best for me, and I'm not saying that because I work for them, I always get a good 3G signal and fast speeds.

I currently have my iPhone 4 with Tesco and the signal is so weird, one minute you get full 3G, then nothing (that's without enforcing the death grip).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
Can you please post your speedtest.net results here, I am curious about orange, but im really intrested in what DVC 1985 said, as several other users have reported shocking performance on giff gaff, I will post my speed test when I get a chance.

BTW speedtest provide a url to your results that you can just copy and paste here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_Mjolnir:
One thing you might want to know:

Vodafone are trialling 14mbps mobile data later this year, the kind of speeds that the GS2 was built for, and currently the only phone in the UK capable of using these speeds.

Get a Sim Only contract from them to get 1gb of mobile data.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
That is cool to know, but they already won in my test on performance, maybe they should redirect some of the funds away from increasing performance and more to increasing coverage !

PS I doubt they will allow 14 mbps on their phone sims, I bet it will be restricted to the broadband dongles, I know o2 dongles get better results than I posted earlier.
