[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Could someone explain why there are never "Stable" builds? On Cyanogen mod site it shows Stable Mod>Experimental Mod>Nightly Builds and there's never anything under stable.

Battery life is not crucial for me either however decent battery is a must. I have switched to MIUI over the last year and a half, between "stable roms" Like Apex or Serendipity, only to have much greater batt drain then on any of the others.

I asked this same question several months ago and was told "because it's based off the nexus platform". So again I ask so what, why so dramatically different? The last MIUI version I was on was Galnets and battery was 8-10hrs. However while on Phoenix I would get 18-21hrs, of same use.

I have always been a lite user, though my phone is on all day, wifi and data are off. I play games occasionally, text and talk. Nothing else.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I don't see a big difference in battery life from miui to any Samsung rom. I've used all of the Samsung roms in the past, favorite was Watsas but once I tried miui and experienced the ui, I was hooked. There's no comparison in quality from there to here. On my normal use, that is approx 3 hrs screen time per day, I will easily reach the 24 hr mark. I would take 12 hrs if it meant having this quality rom instead of those other stock looking things. I guess it's what you like and personal preferences. I weakened for the first time in a month and tried the new espresso 2.3.7, and lasted approx 15 minutes. Why are people on xda if they want that stock crap? Just my opinion.

Anyone else experiencing the problem of when you turn LED Notification off it doesn't stay off?

I had the buttons lighting up on new notification and want it off, but everytime I try and set it off, it turns itself back on again later.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I cant answer the stable build question but I can (as about every page on this thread does) address battery life. I get just about as good a battery life as I have on any other samsung ROM and up until about 2 months ago I had tried every on out. I can get between 3-4 hrs of USE, not time the phone is on but actual use. By use I mean screen on, calls, games, etc...add them up and its 3-4 hours. It may take me 24 hrs to get there or it may take me 10 hrs.

There are things you can do to help. Download something like osmonitor and see what processes are using battery while phone is idle. Freeze telelocation.apk with titanium backup, freeze other processes that you dont use...examples for me would be vpn, sidekick, etc but that may not be the same for you.

I frequently go into the built in battery monitor and click on the battery graph and see if anything I am not using at the time is constantly on. If I see something, I open that process and terminate it. Does this help a lot, I dont know. I have the back arrow set for about .5 sec to terminate the app when I am done with it.

You can also turn off stuff you dont use. Do you really need email push notifications or would every hour be enough? Same with any push app. I know you dont but some leave bluetooth, gps, wireless on even when they dont need them.

Try different kernels, I cant use glitch without battery life getting worse whether I UV or not. I keep trying them when new ones come out cause they are smooth. Neo works better for me for battery life. Others are just the opposite, some get great battery with the stock kernel and I will say its not bad for me either but not as smooth as glitch or neo. Try UV, Try no UV.....Try different modems although the one that comes with this version of MIUI is the best one for me...but I have tried every modem currently out.

These are all just examples, the point is there are things you can do to help yourself you just have to try and find the combination that works for you. There are enough of us getting good battery life and similar to what we have always gotten on any ROM.

If I turned wifi and data off as you do and use it what I consider light (which is subjective), I would have plenty left over after a long day.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I'll give you guys another thing to try which I mentioned in the past but no one listened.

Charge you phone with the screen on and you see how much slower you battery drains for the first 10% or so. At night I just sleep with it charging and put the screen down so the light doesn't bother me.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
i saw that suggestion before and it didnt make a difference (at least not for me).

Just curious....

What's the default MIUI modem? JK4?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Thanks brother a few thoughts and comments....

Dito.... but not on MIUI. When I try a rom I will stay with it for a period of time. I may add that support at Ganets wasn't as cordial as here:)

Good stuff. Have done this in the past , but not accustomed to flashing a newer rom and not have these things already common place.

At present, with the rom I'm testing, I have 4 kernels to toy with. Kernels are good many kernels is better;)

If memory serves me I had been on Galnet MIUI and during Dialysis my phone died! At that point I had watched a movie and played some games. I tried to clear this up over the next week (having to go back to clinic 3 times a week) and could not get over the drain. I was forced to go to Serendipity at that point. I didn't have this issue again!

OK so that being said, what is the most stable version? A froyo build, I would presume.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Mine is i9000UGKC1
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
yes

i dont believe that was the default but I could be wrong. JK4 was the default when I flashed it.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
hmm weird.. I need to try JK4 to see if I get a better signal
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
JL3 is the default modem/radio.
[Captivate Android Development] mpanary_fako:
rocking MIUI too over here :)

however, after I installed 1.9.30, every time I try to install another kernel my phone goes into bootloop. No matter if I try TalonMTD or Platypus, both go into bootloop. Help? I cleaned the cache and dalvik before flashing those kernels, I dont use OC or UV, plus these kernels have a built in cleaning script (not so sure about Talon but Platypus does). I have to reinstall MIUI to get the phone to boot up normally. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have tried 2 times for each kernel fyi, still nothing

also, i set an alarm earlier and went to sleep, woke up waaay past the time I was supposed to wake up cuz my alarm didn't go off. I was about to throw the phone against the wall when I realized that I couldnt even turn it on. If I hold the power button, it would just vibrate two times, screen off, and that's it. Is it the "sleep of death" ? This is with the default kernel that came with 1.9.30. I had to reinstall MIUI again to get the phone working
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Is it normal that when listening to music, battery drops... A LOT? With 3 hours, and 35 minutes I'm down to 72% from 98%. Normally when not listening to music I get about 72% - 65% at the end of the day.
[Captivate Android Development] NOTORIOUS VR:
So I got Miui installed today and I'm loving it.. but I cannot send SMS...

I can receive SMS just fine and I can send an SMS to myself... but when someone sends me an SMS and I reply it fails...

The SM message center number is there and correct...

What's going on?
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:
no this is not normal, usually, 100mhz is used when listening to music, but your wakeclock is probly on for another app so it maybe using 800 or 1000mhz, so restart your phone.

try rentering the number with +1 in the front, make sure its the right number, and if that doesnt work try another modem.

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

try flashing the kernel clean up script found in op. if that doesnt work, do a clean install of miui by wiping system. dont forget to backup your data.

On galnet miui 9.16.today I tried to decrease the lcd density to 209 n 200 as mentioned in another post, n as I have done before in my hd2. But problem is the whole ui shifts to the left with a large empty portion of screen on the right... Ne1 know how to solve this!? I guessed compatibility mode might be the culprit, as almost all my apps run in compatibility mode, idk y! Tried disabling compatibility mode from spare parts, didn't work.. Still c.mode, still ui shifting to left.. Ideas?

All my numbers are stored with a +1 in front.... so it's not that...

Any suggestions on a modem for Rogers?
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
yeah.. i mentioned about this also long time ago, but no one agreed with me so i thought i just felt like battery last longer..

The thing is, when you charge your phone with stay awake option on, you can tell it charges much slower then it is off. also, felt like it drains slower too.

i'll try this again. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] NOTORIOUS VR:
So this is getting weird...

I tried sending a test sms to my BB, it failed 3 times in a row.. then I let it sit for a few mins and tried it again and it went through...

Obviously there is something going on with the ROM?

Suggestions anyone? It's pretty useless without reliable SMS

Any time I try to send a text with +1 in front of it, it fails. If I remove the +1, it goes through.

I like your theme. Is that the dark theme? What battery mod is that too by the way? I love it.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Don't know about the theme, but it looks like NeonGT battery. I use the same status bar in blue.
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
Well, I'm about to flash MIUI tonight for the first time - where do you obtain that battery mod?
[Captivate Android Development] abmicyau:
So does this version have BLN? I read somewhere that from 1.9.23 it was added. Is that true? :D
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Its available in the theme section. It ifr listed simply as Neon.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Duuuuuude! All's well:D
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Reboot doesn't solve it, how do I find oout what app it is, so I can freeze it?
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:
depends on your kernel. i have no idea if the stock miui has it because iver never used it, but i know the latest neo kernel does and glitch doesnt. dont know about talon either.

---------- Post added at 03:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

then its not due to an app being on. try using all of battery until phone dies, wiping battery stats, recharging phone to full while off, then turn phone off and charge to full. so basically recalibrating your battery.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Where did you get the Voodoo Control? the only one I can find is for the audio adjustments, and doesn't have any options for color
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Which kernel are you on, because I did not have the gamma adjustment option on the default miui kernel. It showed up when I switched to the Glitch v12b3 kernel.

I'll send the APK when I get the chance.

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 AM ----------

Theme is NeonRT by Jumba and the battery icon is the older NeonGT applied to the status bar. I've posted links to Jumba's theme thread on here, search for it.
[Captivate Android Development] skrallbro:
Indeed it does, and it works 100%, unlike many of the other kernels which work sporadically or have drawbacks.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
OK looking for some theme help:) I would like to use the round ls shown here But it's from the MIUI Infuse site. I have found a couple I like but none of them seem to be in a mtz file and I can't find how to convert. I did try a suggestion of dropping the zip into the miui folder and changing the extension to mtz, this didn't seem to work.

I am also looking for a Shiney black dialer. I already have a few but they're from non miui roms, kinda thinking I can't use them... or can I? Also there are hundreds of themes, can anybody suggest a real good blue on black or gray on black?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I'm on Glitch 12b3, and thanks!

Take a look at NeonBT. Go onto your Themes, at the top select "Online Theme" switch to "Latest" It'll say "Neon" with a bunch of Chineese characters next to it. There is a green and a blue version.

I've found it's better to DL with WiFi if I can when DL'ing themes
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
what's the market fix for insufficient storage? I've cleared cache,etc
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Yea got that one, It will do for now, but not quite the look I want. Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
Yeah, the NeonBT theme is what I'm currently using. There are SO many options Tom. Also if you go into the general Android section under Themes and Apps you will find TONS more MIUI themes, lockscreens, etc. That's where I found NeonBT.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
One of the great things about theming Miui(if you don't already know), is you can use different pieces from multiple themes. So if you like a lock screen from one theme, for example, you can use it and the dial pad from another and so on until you get the look you're looking for. Then you can back it up and it will be saved as a .mtz file

Strange thing just happened, was on Glitch LL, downloaded a game from the market last night and it played fine then and today until recently I tried to play it and it wouldn't open. Then the phone went into a permanent vibrate mode with black screen. Had to pull battery to get it to stop. Switched kernels and uninstalled that game, (lane splitter), and it seems fine now. Although nothing to do with kennel I'm sure. Anyone have that before? It did it 3 times before I uninstalled the game. Let me know

Hey bro, bl's r ok but the kernel needs to be one of the kernel's from the OP. DC is a Galaxy S kernel. The ones in the OP are specific to MIUI:)

I used and very much liked Glitch when I was on CM7 so I'm thinking I'll switch back to that. Do I need to flash kernel first then MIUI? It's been a while since I changed platforms :o
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
No, Follow the steps in the link at the OP. You'll need to put Glitch in ur sd. The rom has one built in. Directly after flash (once you hit your homescreen) go back into recovery and install Talon, Glitch, whatever. I'm using Glitch right now. Real smooth:)
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
And as an addition, if you're changing kernels, don't forget to use the kernel cleaning script before installing the new one. It'll save you from some potential issues

Edit...... The kernel cleaning script in on the OP

Sent from a autonomous device
[Captivate Android Development] nuwan32:
no you have to flash kernel after because the miui rom contains a kernel, so it flashes one over your current kernel, so flash miui first then glitch. and glitch has been the best for me, its really fast and smooth and it has given me the greatest battery life. platypus for some reason really makes my battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
OK bro so how did you get your's to look like that, without the colors?

You install a backed up theme using miui file manager, open theme then open the backup folder. Apply backup by tapping the filename.

Sorry, SD card tab, miui folder, theme then backup folder.
