ROM# MIUI 1.7.15 demonSPEED v1 BETA

KERNEL# 2.6.35.13 demonSPEED INSANITY v2
[myTouch 4G General] kirkcody:
This Rom is Cleannnnn TDJ, 1000 Thank-yous....google needs to sign these Miui Devs :D

@raa change it in date and time settings.
[myTouch 4G General] ptclik85:
I'm not talking about the ones you can download, i have one from absolute root tools and for some reason I can't set it, i was hoping someone knew how to put a custom boot animation
[myTouch 4G General] The_Omen:
I used this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058430 to get this boot animation with sound http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=904350.
[myTouch 4G General] Bloodflame:
The method I told you is the "official" way of setting the boot screen in MIUI. If you're comfortable editing files, you can make a theme to set your desired boot screen.

Use any MTZ as a template. Change the extension to ZIP, extract and edit the description.xml with the name of the boot animation. Delete the rest of the theme files, then insert the bootanimation.zip file and repack the ZIP, renaming back to MTZ, then apply in Theme Manager
[myTouch 4G General] sl1k1:
Use root explorer and go to system/media

Replace bootanimation.zip with the one you want. And make sure the new boot animation is named bootanimation.zip or it will not work.
[myTouch 4G General] raa320:
I mean the new clock widget
[myTouch 4G General] ptclik85:
Tried that method and it's a no go
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
My question here is does any of the optimizations listed above that are for OTHER devices apply to the My Touch 4G or are all of these specific to each device as listed? This update doesn't seem to provide much for us (MT4G) if that's the case so what benefits do we have over all in consideration to the last patch aside from the first 3 listed improvements which are basically theme modifications and a new release date. The FM Radio doesn't concern me as much as a stable Rom base would.

I'm not trying to pick apart the work here I'm honestly wondering if any of the important issues associated with the previous release in which there were a few had been at least looked into and/or corrected.
[myTouch 4G General] ptclik85:
Thanks for that info because that was exactly what I had to do. It really sucks that this method is the only way of changing the boot animation to your liking, but it's worth it.
[myTouch 4G General] ayamjago:
well.. there's the new market :p

i think im going to pass this weekly dose too. i cant access market here anyway.
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
That is not the only way. You can go to root explorer. To the system folder->media, then replace the file called bootanimation.zip to whatever one you want
[myTouch 4G General] ptclik85:
I tried that method and it wouldn't work
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
Did u make sure permissions were correct....

Sent from my demonSPEED! Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
so under themes->boot animation you have to make it default theme to be able to change it that way

i just did it and it works that way
[myTouch 4G General] petrochemicals:
Don't unzip the .mtz. Use 7-zip and "open archive". When the archive is open drag and drop files as needed. This way the .mtz never gets unziped (which messes with the signing or permissions or something).

This is the way I edit any .mtz and they always work.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
.mtz is just a renamed .zip.. also there are no signatures and permission should be set when copying to device... since its on the sd card shouldnt be any issues with permissions.. so in short u can extract a .mtz file, make your edits, then compress using .zip method and then rename the .zip to .mtz and u r all set.. just make sure your file structure is correct
[myTouch 4G General] petrochemicals:
I don't know what it is but every time I have tried to edit an .mtz by unzipping and re zipping it does not work. If you use the method I described above, you do not need to rename, unzip, re zip and rename. You just open archive, then drag and drop the files and you are done. No need to rename anything.

Just trying to help the guy out, as it seemed he was having the same problem I had. This method just simplifies it and I know it works.
[myTouch 4G General] Tungst5n:
FINALLY figured out what my issue was with the notification settings on the native text messaging app
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
i would bet that it was ur file structure.. instead of zipping the contents inside the folder, u might have been zipping the folder.. Just trying to help a guy out ;)
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
do share...
[myTouch 4G General] ringnutz:
Battery life is definitely better on this build

Sent from my demonSPEED! Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] Bloodflame:
From past experience, I've noticed the method of zipping a MTZ to be a bit awkward. Winzip, Winrar, and other archivers sometimes don't work as intended. It works best if you use the compressed folders option built into Windows. Don't ask me why - just what I've noticed. :p

Btw, MTZ = MIUI Theme Zip ;)
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
think so? i am callibrating my battery now.. i sure hope so ;)
[myTouch 4G General] raycaster3:
I'm calibrating now also. I took it off the charger 11 hrs ago of course it sat while I slept but it's at 81 right now.

I only have 50 min screen on

Sent from my demonSPEED! Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] Bloodflame:
I knew it would work ;) That's just how MIUI is though. MIUI has a very unique theming engine far more flexible than CM7's theme engine or even Metamorph, etc. It's fairly easy (once you learn the file structure), adaptable, easily changeable, and the themes are compatible across all devices that run MIUI. This should be embraced, not shunned. Just my 2 cents :D
[myTouch 4G General] raycaster3:
+1 idk why ppl would ever diss MIUI. It is by far the best rom

[myTouch 4G General] yoyoma123:
Terrific ROM.
[myTouch 4G General] Tungst5n:
The problem might not be the same for everyone but the issue was an app conflict with GOsmspro. When you go through the setup wizard that's a new feature for GOSMSPRO, there's an option to basically suppress the stock notifications. Since I kinda like the stock MIUI messaging app, I completely forgot to turn that GOSMSPRO function off.
[myTouch 4G General] AJ26T:
Sorry If I missed it but did new UI come out yet the enhancements I meant
[myTouch 4G General] Bloodflame:
Yes, the Evolution UI is in 1.7.15
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
I don't think anyone is saying the Rom is bad here other wise they wouldn't be trying to change what they want to change, this is one of the reasons I bought an Android phone, other wise I would have bought an Iphone.

If you can't do what your want the whole point of owning the device is useless, I'm all about the Rom but until they get to a stable release where the system functionality is more important than customization, I'll be here watching for that day to come. I love the Rom great look and clean as it should be but there were issues that keep me from using it full time, I really hope they get the bugs worked out on this I really like it.
[myTouch 4G General] AJ26T:
Thank you
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
minimal amount of bugs..system functionality is up to par or better than most any other roms out there.. the only thing that keeps people from using MIUI is that it resembles IPhone... some weeks are better than others with the build but over all this rom is up to par with the best of them.. and along with any custom rom or even manufacturer based release, everything has bugs.. in my years of android i have never encountered a rom/phone that doesnt.. there are many people out there waiting for manufacturers to release OTA upgrades to phones that have been released for some time because they r plagued with bugs.. so with that being said what are the bugs that would keep you from using the rom?
[myTouch 4G General] billwinkle:
This is my first miui rom and all I can say is wow. I feel like I'm on my first android phone. Now for the stupid newbie question. How do I alphbetize my apps? I can't find how to do that, or do I just move them around?
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
move them around.. no option to do that...
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
OP NINJA UPDATE! please check the change log for more info... also refer to "Extended Settings Menu Options 1.7.15 [MOD]:" for even more info... this is the handy work of @Andy Thomson from MIUIAndroid board... ENJOY!
[myTouch 4G General] Bloodflame:
I've been using MIUI as my daily driver for 8 or 9 months now (among 4 devices, mind you :p), and I've seen this ROM come a LONG way since. The stability is definitely there. By the time they reached almost perfect stability in Froyo, they upgraded to Gingerbread which had it's fair share of bugs in the first few weeks, but they were quick to patch up the holes. The theming and customization has always been and always will be a core component to MIUI, but they do just as much work on the framework as they do on the UI. It's just that the UI is all we really see, so it's all we think of. A couple of examples of framework optimizations they've done recently is significantly speed up the applying of themes, the whole settings menu and toggles interface has been completely revamped over the last couple months. Since we get weekly updates, we don't really see the big changes. Everything evolves slowly, but when you look at the big picture, you start to really notice how far MIUI has really come. Try installing a version from just 2 or 3 months ago and compare that to what we have now. Huge changes, and all for the better! Just think, as great as MIUI is now, come September/October, we'll look back to right now and wonder how we ever liked this.

And as far as stability goes for the Glacier specifically - keep in mind, this is just a port, and a very good port at that! The only "real" issue I've had is with the brightness slider, but that's minimal compared to some issues plaguing other devices. Sure, there's a few quirks here and there, but c'mon, even stock ROM's have those! The best part about MIUI being a community-driven ROM is the fact that they listen to feedback and bug reports, and are quick to fix them. When it comes to MIUI specifically, they've had weekly updates for a year now, which is unheard of for any other ROM, regardless of the device (I don't take CM into consideration here, because nightlies are automagically compiled and quite often not very stable - releases are far and few between)

Wow, this post was a little longer than I intended :D
[myTouch 4G General] raycaster3:
That's exactly what I was referring to. Ppl which say stupid **** like "I would never pollute my phone with that ios wanna be" and "go buy an iPhone if you like miui" I HAD AN IPHONE and miui has less bugs than ios does.

More stable than most roms out there for sure.

[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
sorry for the confusion in the OP.. I rolled back to v1 and created a mod section.. reason being is that its easier for everyone... and since those mods dont always come out the same day as release it helps me save some bandwith and also everyone one from having to DL and flash the entire rom over again... they r mods for MIUI so thats how i will keep them.. so you can flash them if you want and if u could careless for them no worries... sorry again for the confusion :D also remeber these are not my mods so there will not be much support from me for them, ya diggggg

My first time trying this rom and its badazz! Just one question tho..

Is there a way to backup my homescreen folders so everytime i reflash this app, i dont have to go thru the headache of reorganizing again?
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
Use the MIUI backup in the rom. Its the best way to restore everything.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Try an app called Simi folder. You can organize all you want and backup/restore. I use it between CM7 and this. Then you can just move all apps to one folder and use the Simi folders on your screen.

Here's an example:

@raycaster3 ive been able to change it in date & time settings...but cant duplicate it now for some reason....TDJ any help in this situation my dude(2x4) clockwidget?
[myTouch 4G General] raycaster3:
IT WORKS PERFECTLY. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU FLASH THE RIGHT ZIP!

Flashed it again to see if that would do anything...nope. Oh well I wouldn't have even thought of it but now that I've seen it... ha ha I want it.

No worries though. Im loving the new features.

[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
I tested both.. they both work.. wouldn't post something if I wasn't 100%.. in date and Time settings there is another sub menu called date format..(in my car don't know exact name) there are a few options there as u can see from the pics in the op.. the volume + mod isn't option it just uses the long press on volume when using music player to skip tracks when screen is off.. it works I am using it now.. also all the info.is in the op. If u r uneasy about it just flash v1 over it

Sent from my demonSPEED! Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] raycaster3:
Umm it does work! If you read below you will see the words of a person who flashed the wrong zip then acted like it was a surprise it didn't work. Sorry my dude.

I'm sure it works on your phone or you wouldn't have listed it. I'm not too worried I'm more puzzled as to why it didn't do anything. I have flashed it three times and nothing.. I went to the menu like the op says and everything. No dice though.

It flashes it and says it's good in recovery, but when I go to settings, there's nothing there.

I didn't mean to imply that you put something shady in the op, more that I did something wrong that's why it didn't work and something I did will screw with something.

*Just a report after the third flash, there is still no change to my date and time settings... Maybe it's the theme i'm running. Are you on the stock theme?

***EDIT!!!!!!! Alright my dude, don't laugh...Are you ready for this? I was flashing the zips from the op these mods came from not your MT4G mods to the mods! Wow! someone should take away my phone! ha ha***

*Wrong zip

So I had the same issues with the camera as everyone else.

You take a picture, and the preview you get for a second is all messed up.

Well, I realised that if you change a setting in the camera, its works normally.

1. Open camera.

2. Hit menu button.

3. Go to settings.

4. Click picture size.

5. Change it from 4 meg fullscreen to 5mb (2592x1952)

6. Profit

Im sure most of you have figured this out by now, but if not, there you go.

OK one thing has been bugging me...

on every other ROM the option for 2g only in the settings has always used less power

but

on every MIUI ROM the 2g only option says uses more power

2 - if so, why does it use more power on MIUI and not any other ROM?

There is already an OTA updater in the original Chinese release. It used to be removed during translation, but now is left in (but disabled) because it's needed for the theme manager to work properly. But moving on, the team at MIUIAndroid.com are working on getting an OTA updater for the English translations. The problem for us Glacier users, however, is the fact that our ROM is just a port, so OTA updates will be a lot more difficult.
