I just tried to flash the latest version of the ROM from the ROM Manager's download section, and was greeted with looping FC on the Launcher app straight from boot (even after a reboot). Is this a known issue?
[myTouch 4G General] AlphaKoi:
I tried 7 different times and methods of actually using this week's build (not using the miui backup from 1.7.22, installed using rom manager, installed after downloading the file itself, not using any themes or anything but the raw rom itself, etc etc and yes I full wiped always) but

always

FC launcher at some point. The longest time I went before a FC launcher was about 5 or 6 hours before it happened once. I never could figure out exactly what was the cause. I reverted to 1.7.22 till hopefully next weeks release. This has nothing to do with TDJs work....its a Miui thing.
[myTouch 4G General] Laazyboy:
I was following the issue several pages back about not being able to fix the notification for mms (mine can't change from "silent") but not sure what the fix was since another fc issue was being discussed simultaneously, so what's the fix? I'm running the latest miui build and flashed the patch tdj made.
[myTouch 4G General] NvMe218:
i really dont know if this has been discussed and im sorry if it already has but my camera button is not working at all. Is anyone else having this issue or it it just me? And how can I fix this?
[myTouch 4G General] billwinkle:
I just tried my camera button. Try holding it down for 5 seconds. Worked for me.
[myTouch 4G General] Tungst5n:
Weirdest thing just happened. Phone randomly power cycled without me touching it ( which it's done on a number of occasions) but it was a pretty fast reboot. How after the reboot, I had no data whatsoever and I had to reboot it again. All my settings were correct and unchanged.
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
I tried setting up my phone like what you said and I think it works pretty well. No lag noticed and it is still snappy. Battery life was even better than before. Thanks, Ace.
[myTouch 4G General] cangri87:
is there any where to increase MMS file limit to at least 600k?

im not able to receive videos through MMS, works fine on sense with mms set at 600k.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
I don't think you can do anything, derek might have to decompile the mms to allow a bigger size.

And I found something everyone should like, you have to add this to the build.prop file, now home is even faster now from what I see.

Is it just me or does miui not read Sim cards? And also, why is swype bein a beesh on miui when I install it through the beta installer? And last, why does the transition between unlocked to locked seem delayed? When i lock my phone then immediately turn the screen on after it goes off, it displays home for a sec then the lock screen. Doesn't do that on sense...just wondering.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
Is it me or do you always complain?

[myTouch 4G General] :
WTF dude, the point of forums like these is to state the issues and get them fixed, am i right? People do it in the other forums i go to, such as unity for example, and the dev tries to at least help and they try to work on it, not come back with smartass remarks giving the user the impression that they don't give a ****. I was just putting my two cents in, i like miui more than sense and i appreciate that you ported this over for us but damn man...
[myTouch 4G General] :
Whatever. What "I'm up to" is finding a sense replacement.
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
TDJ and other devs do this for FREE so we just need to appreciate what we have. He is not obligated to help anyone.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
Some if your issues haven't been heard if AFAIK, like the phone not seeing the sim card? The lock screen thing is cause it needs time to activate....There a delay, but when you need help maybe you should phrase things differently.

[myTouch 4G General] :
Duh. I'm just thinking if he wants to be like that, then why do it in the first place? I mean yea, people are gonna complain and stuff and do their thing but if he doesn't want to deal with it then why do it? And as a matter of fact, he didn't even have to comment on what i said in the first place. It would've been alot easier for him to read it, think on it and be like ok and be over with it. And i don't know why that other guy had to jump in on it, he didn't do anything but make it worse, knowing that i'd still say something when he pretty much said don't fuel his fire...but it's whatever. I'll just wait for an update or whatever and see what's next.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Well this is the furthest thing from Sense you jack$ss. Go download another Rom and ***** in their threads. What a F'n idiot.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
My thoughts exactly. Bunch of whining jacktards in here.
[myTouch 4G General] vqt:
I have been following this thread since the beginning. I can attest that tdj is one of the most responsive devs here and willing to help where he can. I think your comments just sounded a little standoffish even if you didn't mean it that way. Just my two cents.
[myTouch 4G General] :
What are you, like 12? Who spells jackass with dollar signs and uses the word jacktards? And there must've been a misunderstanding, so let me play teacher for a moment for the 12 year old, when i say,"finding a sense replacement" i mean i need a different rom to use cause i don't want sense on my phone. Understand? Do i need to combine words or spell l1k3 th1$ for you?
[myTouch 4G General] :
Thank you. That's all that needed to be said and i apologize.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
You are simply one of the most unappreciative, self absorbed over indulgent pricks I have seen in here. So thoughtless as to annoy the dev because he responded to you in a way that didn't meet your standards. You want something like Sense then go download one of the myriad Sense Roms and get the F out of this thread and leave us more thankful folks be. You will eventually come across someone in real life who ends up smacking you in the face when you act like this to their face. And my hats off to them. I hope it ends up hurting.

Derek does this in his free time and does not get paid and yet people like you have the nerve to come in here and give him so much as a hard time. You're lucky I don't know you. That's all I can say.

Had you been in my squad in the Army we would have F'd you up by now.

Good day. Back on topic.

Sorry everyone, just sick and tired of ungrateful A-holes. The world is filling up with them. Time for a cleansing.
[myTouch 4G General] :
Ok, i get the point. You're still not getting what i just said though. I DO NOT want a sense rom. That's why i'm here, I like miui and appreciate that tdj has taken the initiative to take on the task of being a dev for this rom and porting it over for us to have. Yea i did complain, but i didn't mean for it to sound like that. I only wanted to point out some things i found wrong hoping that he or someone else in the miui community could help me with or something.
[myTouch 4G General] kirkcody:
Need Help!!!!

@TDJ hope you dont mind Bud :o but would anyone be willing to try/help my Voltron Force bootanimation I posted in apps and themes Thanks In Advance :D
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
OK, I gotcha on what you mean about the Sense replacement. These forums are a place to gather and ask reasonable questions. Derek works his ass off to port this and add his own ideas and it takes a lot of time. He has a family as do I so the work that people put in take away from that. Plus, he isn't being paid for any of this. He does it because he enjoys it. When people come in here and complain it takes away from his productivity and can also take away his passion to do what he does.

In the future maybe you could find a way to express your thoughts in a not so 'annoying' way.

IMHO of course.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
I use this ROM as a daily driver, mms works fine for me, SIM support works fine for contacts, and the battery is far better than it was on other ROM's.

I'm a fan of Sense, personally I think it has a clean look and holds a lot of promise but lately I've noticed less and less battery life on the over all usage, even underclocking at 245min to 768max (sleep) system still runs between 52% and 70% battery draw in a 12 hour scale (wake OC at 245 to 1113) moderate use through the day and I'm charging twice.

Miui has performed better for me and I'm sure everyone else that's used it, I think the problem you run across is personal preference and as far as ROM's go you'll always find something if you look hard enough for it. This doesn't mean the work is less complicated or less cared for so making it a point to dig up a 2 db difference in audio values between two different ROM's (<<< EXAMPLE) is just looking for an argument no matter how you cut it.

Good work on the fix TDJ. It installed easily and was released right away, no one had to wait 2 weeks for it. That's what you call support.
[myTouch 4G General] nerdgirl:
Just use a lot of smiley faces and pleases and thank yous! That is what I do...

Oh and I try not to complain or demand anything. I'm grateful for every build I get! Whoop whoop!

OK. Speaking of builds. ;) WANT.
[myTouch 4G General] nerdgirl:
BTW. Wondering if anyone else can't download certain apps in the Market. I am trying to buy the Geocaching.com app and although it appears in search, I can't actually buy it. I have checked Amazon App store, but they don't have it. I have also tried to buy through Android web store but that fails. WTF. :(
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
I wrote up a long article over in the Blackberry forums years ago about battery life.

There is no real way to gauge battery life between Roms, phones and users. The reason for this statement is due to way too many variables. Such things as:

Cell coverage. Distance from towers and signal strength. Wi-Fi signal and obstruction factors. Things like cordless home phones and microwave ovens can cause Wi-Fi interference and drain battery. Apps and their sync settings. How many apps and how well written those apps are. What is running in the background.

You see, no two phones will be the same no matter how much you try and test. So battery life is all relative and speculative. It boils down to what works best for you. There are many things one can do to improve life however. But that is a whole new thread.

This was just a brief overview.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Did you happen to check to see if Market lists it as compatible for your device. I know that if it lists it as incompatible it may not let you download it. Just an idea.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
This build is 2.3.5, some apps aren't compatible as if now, since the devs need time to make changes. It might sure the app, but theres no button to download?

[myTouch 4G General] :
Trust me, I've been looking HARD for the past two or three weeks. I started on unity and it was nice and stuff but i'm sick of sense period, it's so full of stuff i don't need. So i tried a senseless rom, but it was kinda slow for me. I tried this but then i had some tiny issues with it, so i went to my last choice even though i absolutely hate cyanogenmod and royalginger cause i had soooo many problems with their roms a couple months back and didn't find it stable enough to be a replacement. So i've been switching back and forth trying to figure out what i can do and what is stable enough for every day, no problems and be done with and not sense. Right now it's either this or generation x5 cause i had no problems with that from my experience other than the camera and camcorder. So i've been looking for some camera replacement apps and i found some to try, but i'm gonna try miui one more time...or maybe two more times if i switch out, cause i have to try the update.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
As a user of CM, I have to say, even I had issues with a couple of the CM builds. But, and no offense to MIUI as I use it as my daily driver; CM is extremely stable and works flawlessly. The latest stable official release is perfect. But I simply prefer the fluidity of MIUI. I love being able to customize each aspect of the UI.

Again, this is all going to be user preference though.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
My point here is it looks like your picking apart everything you try and the more it happens the more people will notice it, if I felt you were digging into work I did on a constant basis I would be pissed too.

In the past I've followed every step installing ROM's and fell into some issues that I thought shouldn't have been there, the first thing I do is bang through the first ten pages of posts and look for anything related, if it's not there then I did something wrong that no one else has, if it is then it's obvious that the point was made and I try to fix it myself and if I come up with something that works then I post it.

This is my theory on this, I work with what works in functionality as a base ROM, phone, text, email and what ever else is important for me everything else is a plus imo, I'm here to learn and apply it. If I wanted to be a sheep I would have went with Apple, so not everything is perfect...
[myTouch 4G General] :
Heellllll noooo. Apple is a no-go. I had an iphone and i even jailbroke it. Hated it. I even have the 4th ipod and it's jailbroken and guess where it is. Somewhere behind my xbox and all that other junk cause i haven't used it in forever...i don't even remember the last time i synced it with iTunes which is the only thing i appreciate apple for cause my mac sucked. Terribly...
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Be apart of the solution then, choose the ROM that suits you and work with it. I don't want this thread to turn into a self help thread, all I'm trying to get you to see is there's always something to pick at no matter it is. Instead of being the one person that points out every flaw find a way that works to correct what you find.

I spend more time reading than anything, if I don't have the answer for something I take the time to make it work for me and if it's good enough to help out others then I post it.

Good luck finding something you like.
[myTouch 4G General] billwinkle:
I agree that reading thru before can greatly improve your rom experience. I have found that doing a little due diligence goes a long way to preventing most issues. I've actually not installed some roms because of this even though the rom sounded cool. And I have also found most of my problems were from me NOT reading the OP. What is wrong with taking an extra few minutes for something as important as an operating system for your phone. And props to Derek and all legit developers who take their valuable time to make something that the whole community can use and enjoy!
[myTouch 4G General] tsuujin:
I'm disappointed that this fell into such a bickering whine-fest so quickly, particularly since the catalyst was simply an overly annoying comment being responded to by a senselessly melodramatic response...

That aside, I'm stuck. I've tried flashing the latest ROM a couple of times now after full wipes, and every time I boot into the new ROM I'm greeted with a FC loop on the Launcher app. Has anyone else had a loop this severe, and if so what was the fix? I'm not even certain -why- the FC happens.
[myTouch 4G General] :
I think I saw it somewhere in this thread before and someone posted a link to that bulletproof launcher thing or something. Might've been this thread our another, not sure as my memory of all this week is scrambled due to almost zero sleep...
[myTouch 4G General] saotua:
Have you tried to download the rom again? That happened to me too then I download to my computer then transfer to my phone. After flashed, I let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to settle before setting.
[myTouch 4G General] tsuujin:
Yeah, I've downloaded from two sources, so I'm fairly certain that it's an issue with the rom rather than the download.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
Hmmm... Not sure how to answer this? Not for nothing but please get me both last_kmsg and logcat of launcher fc and I will see what the issue is.. I am running .29 all week and have reflashed a bunch of times and have had no issues with the launcher. Now the thememanager is a different story.. So like I said get me those 2 logs and I will know for certain what's causing your issue, atleast I hope

Thread is quiet today.. Guess everyone awaiting 1.8.5 release :D I want to give everyone a heads up of what is going to happen later on tonight. I am going to be releasing miui.us 1.8.5 in plain vanilla with everything as it would be if miui china supported the device. it will have everything stock including the kernel.. No extra Apps, no demonspeed kernel, but still be fully functional. I am going to create a "demonspeed mod" that can be flashed on top of the vanilla miui and will include but will not be limited to my kernel, the extra Apps, several optimizations, updates default theme and official lockscreens.. The idea behind this is to give users more options, or for the people who just like it plain and simple, less stuff to think about.. I am not sure how well the community will react. But this gives me some more flexibility with miui.us and gives the users more options.. Please feel free to comment about this, I am interested in what you guys think...

Will this method affect how we do the MIUI recovery after the udate? Or can we perform a full recovery including system settings. I personally think I will wait to recover after you post your pesonal touches to the ROM. I have finally got my settings to where my phone will last more than a day now.

All good youngin'. If we were over in the sensation community you'd have been flamed and motherf'd by like 50 ppl for not searching the thread, reading, or for breathing. I like to think (at least in this thread) we're a bit more civilized but you never know. If i were you I wouldn't spend too much time customizing this build cuz you're definitely gonna want to flash the update mate.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
I like it, there are a lot of people that like the ROM the way it is but this will give people an idea of how much work goes into changing an update after it's been ported over which isn't as easy as people think it is. I for one love the theme control and variations are so easy to work with. Options is why we're all here man, the more the better. Can't wait for the next update man.

Personally like I've said in the past I was a die hard Sense fan but after running this for the past 3 updates or so I've gained a new found respect for the ROM's consistently stable system functionality through every release, there are very few ROM's out there that hold up to the same standard. I know some one is going to take what I said here literal (there are bugs in everything, even OTA's) but for one to release build after build with GB version changes you have to admit everyone working on this pays some serious attention to detail.
