ok, so I was able to do this before but I seem to have problems now.

How can I select my own sounds for my mail app?

The issue is that when I press "menu" when selecting a notification sound the "other" option doesn't show up anymore.

I have also put files in the /MIUI/notification folder on my sdcard (which I had to create)...still nothing...

Ideas?

Battery life with latest release 1.6.10v2 and v1.0 kernel seems to be pretty good so far. Using conservative gov 902/245, setcpu screen off 368/245 and has lasted 8 hours with light use. At 75% currently.
[myTouch 4G General] Robertleehadley:
Yup. Best so far. I'm in love with the rom/kernel.

[myTouch 4G General] petrochemicals:
It was figured out that Widget Locker, Quick Desk and Power Strip would reset their widgets to none after a reboot on CM7 if any theme was applied to the T-Mobile theme app built into the rom. When the theme was set back to stock this problem would not happen anymore. Why this would happen on MIUI is anyone's guess.

If you do have a theme applied, try going back to stock theme and see if that helps.
[myTouch 4G General] collins521:
Yep, went to stock added a widget and rebooted and was still there...went to a theme and added, rebooted and it was gone. Odd

What kernel what gov r u running.. I have been unplugged 15 hrs with 2 hrs screen on time, w/ 60% remaining.. im running dS v1.0 conservitave same setup as u.. u might have a runaway app or something.. u can download watchdog lite and see if that sees anything.. also check the sync time on like fb and Twitter and make sure its not like every 5 min.. also if u look under the firewall u can see how much data each app sends out, make sure there isn't any out of the ordinary data usage..
[myTouch 4G General] travisd4est:
ook

Thanks man. Heres the scoop.

Im running your 1.0 kernel for MiUI, i tried conservitive and it was to "laggy" or "sluggish" so im on smartass atm. Fbook is every hour. same as twitter. Firewall looks fine to me. all the standard apps doing their thing. Ill report back after Watchdog is done. (capped)

EDIT: watchdog just shows the android system at 9.5%followed by status bar at 2.6. Soo it couldnt be them..
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
If u r using smartass turn off the screen off profile it is built into smartass... that might have something to do with is...maybe

Alright. I edited my post. Also ill wait till recharge then clean the stats and see how tomorrow goes. If all else fails ill just clean the phone and reflash. Thanks guys :-)
[myTouch 4G General] option94:
FYI, if the kernel is built well, which I have no doubt it is, then using any profiles in setcpu is counter productive. Especially if you're running the smart ass governor.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
Ya those numbers r good... I can tell u this, I had to uninstall rom manager pro because it kept spiking up over 59% causing some battery drain.. I hope it works out cause I get at the least 18hrs with heavyweight usage...no reason u can't
[myTouch 4G General] travisd4est:
Yea Ive ran the same set up countless times with different roms. And i went a day and a half on the last build doing the same. Maybe i just messed something up down the line. Ive never had any probs before.

Btw how goes it Option :)
[myTouch 4G General] option94:
It doesn't go - you have to push it. ;)

I've had this installed for two days and the only issues I have are with connections. Every theme I try and download fails. When I go to network connections and hit search it gives an error. Where can I find the updated radio?

Have tried over network and Wi-Fi. Fails on either. And search/select network also fails over both. Yet Market/browser/apps work fine.

Thanks in advance. BTW: LOVE this ROM!

Update. Just re flashed and all is fine
[myTouch 4G General] dills84:
Just ran "fix permissions" and it solved the "failed download" problem in the theme manager. Just a heads up with those of you with that issue!
[myTouch 4G General] rogabean:
Just a note. Been using the latest version of this ROM with the 1.0 version of you kernel just to see what its like. So far everything works. Made a couple tweaks.

Rolled Market back to the 2.3.4 version from gapps dated 05032011 and changed a piece of the build.prop to:

ro.product.model=HTC Vision

ro.product.brand=tmobile

ro.product.name=htc_vision

ro.product.device=vision

ro.product.board=vision

This allowed me to install and use the unmodified Netflix from market including the newest update today with no issues.

Found latest flash install (haven't checked todays update) had an issue where audio would play but video was black after the first time I played a video. This bug also seemed to affect other current CM7 based ROMs as well. But the fix for removing all permissions from the config file of the plugin in both Miren and the stock browser cleared that right up. (/data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data)

In addition I found changing temporarily the LCD density to 160 allowed me to find and install Madden NFL on the phone which works fine combined with the chainfire3D POWERVR plugin. Can change back after install since sadly this ROM doesn't play nice graphically with that density. (This has been a standard trick of mine on other ROMs for games that "require" a tablet, happy to see it works for this one as well.)

Other than theme tweaks (because I wanted to see just how iPhone I could make it look) I have to say I'm pretty impressed by this ROM. Quite stable and fast. Happy to say I have yet to see a FC on anything.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
I uses pieces from that gapps.. but it broke contact sync and others, miui china optimized the gapps to work within the rom, so if things stop working that my be why.. in the flash with videos, u need to make sure the its on the lowest quality 240p its a codec limitation... never used any other density so I have no idea with that
[myTouch 4G General] rogabean:
Wasn't really reporting "issues" as much as "tips"

I only used the Market from that gapps. Nothing else. Installed manually, not using Nandroid. Nothing has been broken with that installed. I imagine that using other parts of it would cause issues. I have fully tested everything with that version of the market installed and have found no issues... just allows me to install Netflix directly from Market. :) I couldn't get the 2.3.6 Market version included in the ROM to allow me to see Netflix even with the build.prop change. BUT using the build.prop change + the 2.3.4 version of Market did, so now I can get my Netflix updates from the Market.

And yes using 240p fixes the issue, but doing the permissions change also fixes the issue and then it no longer restricts me to 240p (this became an issue because I use the fix for my Hulu account, which the lowest option is 288p) (also tells me it's an artificial codec limitation). Also was an issue as I couldn't get BBC iPlayer to 240p or lower either so that wasn't working. but now works!

Density isn't an issue. I knew this would be messed up at a lower density. It was more of a tip to allow you to be able to install "unsupported" games :) After install you just go back to the normal density and all is fine. Just bump it down now and then to check for an update.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Thanks. I thought I had the latest installed as I updated it not too long ago but apparently not. Just wanted to pass along my thanks as updating to the latest stock radio worked the kinks out.

[myTouch 4G General] :
Anyone having WiFi issues? Weird thing is that it works fine and holds signal too, but it also starts itself randomly! Please correct, any suggestions? Should I try wipping cache and/or fixing permissions? Thanks for your help!

Btw I got 17+ hrs. on a single, but full charge with my usual usage which is primarily streaming music using tinyshark and some light browsing and reading n news using taptu. I don't know if this helps, but I did some light reading and saw some are having battery issues, hope this helps. I am running scary@ 245-1.1___. I use autostarts and droid firewall. I also paid for watchdog some time ago? Anyone suggests me using it, either over firewall and autostarts or in addition too?

THANKS AGAIN!!

Terrific ROM Derek. Keep up the great work
[myTouch 4G General] collins521:
For your WiFi issue check to see if you have your location enabled by wireless network or if that's unchecked. If its off and the gps is set for it there is also a flip for WiFi enabled assistance or something like that
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
Collins is correct. If u have automatic assisted gps enabled under settings/personal/my location. Everytime u turn on GPS it will turn on ur wifi automatic, it will also disable it automatically when u r not using the gps... turn that feature off and u will be good
[myTouch 4G General] VibrantOwnr:
I also find that my gps accuracy is much lower with assisted gps...

The last time I tried to use assisted gps, my phone got extremely hot. To the point where my touchscreen had sections that would not work. Had to let it sit for a hour to cool down. touchscreen came back but I am never doing that again.

Just my advice: be cautious when using assisted gps
[myTouch 4G General] scrubsja:
17+ hrs is really great, I have never been able to get more than 10+ hrs with my setup. I am using the scary gov and I do not stream or use my phone excessive so I am at loss why I cant get better battery life

[myTouch 4G General] rogabean:
I'm pulling about 12-13 hours on a full charge, but thats with heavy streaming using Rhapsody a good 6-7 hours of that time and a few rounds of Madden or Fruit Ninja as well as heavy twitter usage and constant texting on this ROM so I'd day that is pretty damn good. If I toss in a netflix show or a show on BBC I bump it down to around 8-9, still decent in my opinion for that kind of usage.

First thing I did after installing this ROM was drain battery, charge to full, run battery calibration and then discharge to empty again. Recharge back up. I try only to do this after a new ROM/Kernel change or once every 1-2 months, whichever comes first.

I also keep my brightness at about 65%.

*this is all with wifi and GPS off, but BT on the entire time for my headphones.

Can't really speak to battery with wifi on as I only have it on at the house.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
That's really only with 2+ hours of use. I could easily get 36 hours from my CM7 Rom with a few setCpu profiles and a few hours of use.

What I'd like to see is someone's battery after about 8 hours of use.

Don't get me wrong. I like this Rom a lot. But battery life is about the same/on par with other Roms.

I am currently only using the smartass governor at the moment. We'll see how it goes and I'll post a few screens later. I'm a poweruser so I will give it a good workover.
[myTouch 4G General] rogabean:
I completely agree with you on the "about same/on par" comment from my own experience. Only problem with us running tests is those of us who are powerusers also tend to have tweaked the ROM post install to our liking, so the results are skewed.

What I'd like to see is someone run battery tests on all of the major ROMs from a vanilla ROM install.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
You are 100% completely correct. I have since tweaked my settings to see how much I can squeeze out of this ROM. No two phones are the same (silicone is different) and installed apps are different from user to user so unless someone has roughly 5 [almost] identical MT4G's to test vanilla ROM's then battery claims will always be /null/.

But I do believe that battery life on this ROM is about the same as my CM7 ROM.

JMHO.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
What do you use to tweak the rom after flashing it? Id like to start learning some more advanced stuff.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
Derek, could you help me with finding better values for autobrightness? The default ones always fluctuate and the settings dont seem very good. I found some on the CM site, but they're for the 1st Gen Dragon phones only, so I dont think the screen tech is the same too.

[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
i ended that with almost 25hrs and a bit over 5 hrs screen on.. for me that is great! that screeny i posted was to show some ppl that u can achieve more than 10-14 hrs.. i dont know y ppl r not getting better battery life? If u say its on par, well then i will see that as a good thing.. as long as its not worse ;)

to be honest i dont really use auto brightness.. i have never played with the settings so i really dont know :confused: i would suggest to adjust them until u find a sweet spot, its going to come down to personal preference anyways.. when i do use AB i have no issues with the settings.. i keep it off to help with battery life...

i have no issues connecting to my devices.. can you be more specific, thanks

I can't seem to update to the latest google maps in the market. It lets me know there is an update, I download it and then it never installs. It just hangs on "Downloading" but in the status bar, it completes the download but does nothing.

Clicking to get back to the market, it shows google maps awaiting an update again.

issue

Okay I have been using miui since you've made this rom. I really like it and always come back to using it as my daily rom. Now I didn't want to be just someone who post an issue so I decided to do a bit of testing. First off this about sending videos low quality mms style thru gmail. Now I recorded a video 12 seconds prox 421kb and send it to my self it showed up but wouldn't play. So then I went back to an older rom when you still had the cm 7 camera and dis the same thing and well same thing video showed up on my email but couldn't retreive it. So after bit of testing I figured it out. I installed gallery 3d from another rom and deleted the gallery that came with this rom and used the gallery 3d to send the video. Now it actually player and showed up. So somehow the built in gallery for miui is not letting me send videos properly. So I just wanted to point that out just in case you can maybe get a fix. Thank you. PS really truly love the roms man keep up the good work and don't quit out.
