Quick feedback

Now that there is the new version I'll give it a try. I've been using my phone so no logs, sorry! :-) Therefore these are more observations than anything.

Bottom line: Although I have more negatives than positives, that's just the nature of feedback. And I really am starting to like this ROM a *lot*.

Positives

---------

I like the dual notification/toggle tray.

I like the folders, that should be built in to all Android varients.

I can't believe what the battery indicator was showing me but if it is accurate, WOW.

The pull down unlock in different positions to make a call or message is clever.

I don't like iPhones but this is pretty and well put together. It feels coherent.

There is something ineffable about it. Sense 3.0 lasted less than 24 hours, MIUI stands a chance to replace CM7 on my phone permanently.

My wife likes that there is no app tray.

Negatives

---------

...For these next 3, a reboot fixed them, but they are scary:

The phone would make and receive calls but there was no audio.

WiFi calling kept trying to validate the SIM (not sure of the syntax) and didn't work.

A wireless network wasn't detected until I went to the preference (yes, network notification was on).

There should be a Disconnect for wireless, not just Forget and Cancel.

Settings and Launcher preferences should be swap positions.

Preferences confusing--difficult to find where things are.

There should be control on how long the screen is on before signon (it is too short).

There should be more control on how long the screen is on before timeout (something between 1 minute and 5 minutes, c'mon!).

The toggle tray should have a toggle for wireless tethering.

The toggle tray should have a toggle for the flashlight.

The brightness toggle, the first time I tapped it, went completely dark (I was fortunate to have kept my finger in place).

Saying "Silent mode" is incorrect. I realize other ROMs say this too :)

Guard should be explained. Yes, you can tell me here, but it should be explained on the phone. By the way, what is Guard? :)

Hot Boot should be explained.

I'd say the phone got hot at times, but it is summer in Alabama so it is hard to say if it is really hotter than expected.

A full wipe everytime? That's not good. And update between weekly versions shouldn't require that unless it has a change like CM7's 7.0 series-->7.1 series.
[myTouch 4G General] rogabean:
On your last comment about "full wipe". Derek says to do a full wipe and I agree with him saying it, because if something goes wrong with someone's install - first thing that would be suggested is a full wipe because you would then have an installation as he intended and he can help you troubleshoot. BUT you can just update on the minor updates if you wish and I can tell you from experience they work. I did not wipe on my primary phone going from 1.6.10v1.2->1.6.17v1->1.6.17v1.1 and I haven't seen any issues at all, but everyone's phone is a little different. A full wipe is always a good idea, but do a nandroid backup of your existing install before doing it. :) If something goes wrong, do a full wipe install to make sure the issue is with the ROM and not from just updating.
[myTouch 4G General] feliciepr7:
How can i change to the new lockscreen? I don't have the same LS that in the screen shoot.
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
@excarnate

Most of the negatives you list sounds like someone who is not used to using MIUI roms. Once you are used to it you will be glad you stuck with it. There aren't any perfect ROM's out there but this one comes close.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
new [LOCKSCREEN] check this out: http://www.miuiandroid.com/2011/06/slideit-lockscreen-theme-by-roniez/ it pretty cool..
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
go to THEMES->edit theme->lockscreen style
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
i am not sure what u r doing.. .i included them in the rom, u should just be able to apply from within theme manager> edit theme> lockscreen style

EDIT: @vqt lol u beat me to the punch..
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
on the miuiandroid website, people are saying the new lockscreens are draining their battery life. anyone noticing it here?
[myTouch 4G General] feliciepr7:
Oh yeah, that's what i am talking about, thank you! I love it. Oh and everything works for me!
[myTouch 4G General] jimbo11883:
The new lockscreens also seem to not play nice with the "incoming phone call lockscreen" (I am not sure of the official name for it.)
[myTouch 4G General] raycaster3:
I haven't noticed that but it'd be pretty dope to be able to change wallpaper on em ;)
[myTouch 4G General] feliciepr7:
Thanks, i am new to this Rom so i have to ask so i can change some stuff, but yeah everything is here and work like a charm for me.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
might be.. i am not using the new lockscreens, i prefer the functionality of the default :p
[myTouch 4G General] scr3wy:
Lol sorry I should of posted a ss. I understand some of the characters but ya here's the ss.

Edit. It only happened on two themes... maybe its faulty in those themes? Idk
[myTouch 4G General] scr3wy:
Play with the rom more... you'll learn that everything is really user-friendly. But ya in the wallpaper selection, press list and you'll be able to apply whatever you want.

Edit. Ya.. I think your referring to the previous post. Oops!
[myTouch 4G General] rogabean:
I played around with the new lockscreens and didn't see any noticeable drain on battery, but I went back to widgetlocker as I prefer it.
[myTouch 4G General] scr3wy:
Really? Some of these themes display SMS message notifications which makes me ;D

Fantastic release.

Glad everything is finally usable again. I love miui, but those guys sometimes have to mess things up before they can make it better. Thanks for sticking with the project!
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
thanks man! u hit the nail right on the head with that one "but those guys sometimes have to mess things up before they can make it better." couldnt have said it any better :D
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
This release is very trouble free, i don't think I have had any problems at all.

Is there any spanish language available? All i see is english, chinese and French in the settings.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:

[myTouch 4G General] feliciepr7:
But for the keyboard settings either?
[myTouch 4G General] feliciepr7:
Thats ok, I just disable the word correction that thats what it was boder me.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
ohhh u want keyboard language support for spanish?? if i am understanding u correctly there r a few options... pull the LatinIME.apk from the latest CM7 nightly or download a keyboard from the market.. i use smart keyboard pro, works awesome and supports a lot of launguages.. it also has gingerbread skin, looks nice!

Muahahahaha muahahahaha
[myTouch 4G General] raycaster3:
This DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH THE LATEST BUILD(1.2). Confirmed just now with five test calls ON NEW LOCKSCREENS. Another fabulous improvement
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
It was probably the same bug that was causing the wallpaper issue, effecting the call screen. Glad its working now.. thanx for the report

how to apply the new lockscreen? is it somewhere hidden in the setting?
[myTouch 4G General] saotua:
Go to Themes -edit theme - lockscreen type, then select the one u want.
[myTouch 4G General] ayamjago:
cool!! thank you

btw is it possible to edit the application shortcut? i only use my phone for internet, so no point of having call and messages. also i want to change the browser and camera to other application
[myTouch 4G General] feliciepr7:
Thanks, I will.
[myTouch 4G General] petrochemicals:
I would also like to know if we can edit the apps somehow. I use the Miren browser and Vignette for the camera.would lke to change the stock buttons to those.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
I am not sure I follow exactly what u mean?? :confused:

Sent from my demonSPEED! Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] ayamjago:
the new lockscreen. is it possible to customize it, to change the default apps to different apps. so instead of having call, message, camera, browser, and home, we will be able to change them to say... music, vignette camera, miren browser, gtalk, or anything else.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
Ummmm I am not 100% sure on the limitations of the theme manager.. might be able to modify the theme to do that... but I would have to pull it apart and see how its coded into the theme.. @ work now, I have class after work... will be home around 9pm eastcoast time... will check it out then for u

[myTouch 4G General] petrochemicals:
Well I opened the 5points theme up pulled the .xml file out. The code that is pulling up the browse is this.

I just d/l the new v1.2 I keep getting the application (something in chinese) process com.android.updater has stopped unexpectedly try again.

I did a search through this thread and found nothing so I'm asking is there something I could do to fix this?

****UPDATE****

Now I'm getting signal/data drops :( Why????

any help would be appreciated.
[myTouch 4G General] ottoman1384:
I haven't updated yet but I have an issue with flash and videos in the web browser. For some reason, I can hear the audio but not the video. Any suggestions.

Also, to update to the latest and greatest, do I have to do a full wipe or just wipe cache and flash the zip file?
[myTouch 4G General] rogabean:
Package is "cn.miren.browser.

and I *believe* class is "cn.miren.browser.ui.MiRenBrowserActivity" or "cn.miren.browser.MiRenBrowserActivity" - most likely the first if my brain is remembering correctly.
[myTouch 4G General] rogabean:
*bug* in flash 10.3. The issue happens on videos over 240p from what I hear, but here is the fix I am using.

1. Uninstall Flash.

2. Reinstall Flash

3. Using Root Explorer (or whatever tool you use to edit permissions, I recommend Root Explorer as I like have one touch remount R/W) - do the following permission change:

/data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data -> change this file to NO permissions.

You will also need to do this in other browsers you may use for flash... for example I use Miren so I also change:

/data/data/cn.miren.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data ---> NO permissions

Since making this change I have been able to watch any and all flash videos regardless of bitrate.

This change will survive updates to MIUI, probably will not survive updates to Flash, but I cannot confirm. OR you can do what poster below suggests and use an older version for now. I couldn't do that as Hulu was throwing a fit about me using 10.2 instead of 10.3

Also I did a non wipe update to the latest coming from version 1.1 - BUT if you have any issues after.. do a wipe.
[myTouch 4G General] petrochemicals:
The new flash has this problem. I found this older one on xda and works.
[myTouch 4G General] highv0ltage:
Yes, I'm using the new lockscreens. I will update today to see if that fixes it. I also have an issue applying a different wallpaper to the lockscreen. Hopefully the update will fix that. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G General] petrochemicals:
Awesome, thanks. It was the first class, the one with ui in it. Now my question is, how can I find the classes myself? So I can change the camera to vignette. I figured out how to get the app names in the data/app folder. But I do not know where I can find the class names.
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
1.6.17v1.2 = super smooth, thanks so much
[myTouch 4G General] rogabean:
Android-apktool is your new best friend. :)

http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/

Or just look in the /data/app/*(your package in view mode) (or /system/app) for the AndroidManifest.xml file- in there you will see a section with launchmode - that will get you the info to append to the end of the package.. which will be the class you need.

Give me a few minutes here and I will have vignette for you possibly :)

update: I just used the demo, but it looks like:

package = uk.co.neilandtheresa.Vignette

class = uk.co.neilandtheresa.Vignette.Vignette

So what is the recomendation for the update? Full wipe? Or just update?
[myTouch 4G General] raycaster3:
Recommended is always full wipe. Did I? No... does it work perfectly? Yes. Will it for you? No one knows...

[LG Optimus 2x] wc326:
:o i only bought the lg 2x for 3 weeks, and this is sad to watch.

However, i don't see the point of the gpu being such powerful, since android does not have any thing to push the gpu at all besides benchmark. This is a good way to make myself feel better.:D

I would like to know is there difference between Tegra 2 cpu vs Exynos cpu at all?? besides Exynos gpu being so much more powerful than Tegra 2?

Thanks

[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
oh thats just terrible

Now my O2x are completely useless - it will just stop functioning im sure

No wait - thats not right - whats happening, it still works ? My games still play, I can still read the news, I can still do all the things I did yesterday.

It's just a benchmark - does it really matter that much ? ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] ironman159:
Those are just numbers in my opinion. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Drakenhielm:
I might have wrong, but that benchmark is made for mobile gpus and tegra 2 is not like normal mobile gpus it's more like a desktop gpu. A eight core gpu can't be beaten by a quad core or? :(
[LG Optimus 2x] mikeyd85:
Tegra is our one, probably futile, hope of future proofing our phones.
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
Don't expect Tegra to lead benchmarks for a while until mobile graphics are more geared towards immediate mode rendering (Stuff more like PC graphics.). Everyone else uses Tile-based rendering. I believe NVidia did this to avoid changing the rendering (which changes the drivers even more and etc) once they reach "console-level" graphics. The Tegra 2 will excel in a few things. Don't expect it to be the best performer for now. Expect it to be a capable one.
[LG Optimus 2x] ph00ny:
Don't forget. SGS II is capped to 60fps and we won't know what it's truly capable of
[LG Optimus 2x] player911:
I've seen several gaming videos and the tegra walks all over the Orion. I do agree that push for tegras are the last hope for a unified gaming platform and I think it will work. Nvidia has this backed and will see it through.
[LG Optimus 2x] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i am really sick of the fact every android phone has its own different games on each platform. same game cant be run on different android phones. this is stupid.

its one of the reasons i like Nvidia. they are trying to do something good here for once. you see all those samsung galaxy S2 hardware. but where all the games ? those same games i can play on nexus S. with good frames too. however with nvidia and tegra 2, the users are getting exclusive games that can take advantage of the hardware. thats nice for a change.

let the galaxy S2 owners have fun with there powerful phone on paper. at the end of the day. the Tegra 2 owners are the people who are getting the best looking games.

i am not saying i hate S2. because i will buy it as soon as i can. i love super amoled and the techs for the phone. but if i want a pure gaming phone. tegra 2 wins hands down. not because its the most powerful. but because there are exclusive games that take advantage of that GPU.
[LG Optimus 2x] demo23019:
wrong thread...........
[LG Optimus 2x] Shocky2:
No their not, they're taking games already under development which Android users were going to see anyway regardless of nvidia's involvement and paying the developers off to make them exclusive titles, this is a bad thing as most Android users will lose out because of it.

One of the Tegra 2 only pinball games once cracked works fine on a legend ffs! :mad:

so you can see that samsung galaxy with exynos and with 1.2ghz against lg2x nvidia tegra2 with 1ghz and lg optimus 2x seems for me faster for playing videos at this ..!i wanna only know if lg use stock 2.2.2 at this video against samsung galaxy s2 2.3.3 stock ;);););)
[LG Optimus 2x] edangel:
lets compare those two videos and see that there are no differences between samsung s 2 and lg2x

and again dont forget...lg 2x has stock 2.2.2 rom

samsung galaxy s 2 has gingerbread 2.3.3 wich supposed to be faster..

think that when lg 2x will get official ginger 2.3.4 at this summer

[LG Optimus 2x] MaBlo:
True, and Nvidia is causing fragmentation by using their own compression formats. Afaik Mali supports the one and only standard format, but that don't help much when Nvidia is paying off devs to use their proprietary stuff. Yeah not very techical i know, but check out the SGS2 thread for more info.

Well my charger broke so I went and bought a travel charger. On my stock HTC charger the output was something like 5,0A = 1A and this charger I bought says something like 5,0A = 650mA

Does this just mean it will take longer for my phone to charge?
[Thunderbolt General] ddarvish:
yes it just means the current running to the phone is less so it will take a lot longer to charge.
