Here's a tip for battery life. Use tibu to freeze everything you don't use. Use a different kernel and oc/UV. Install juice defender, make sure you calibrate your battery.

I just hit 25 hours, I have three percent left.

I'm running glitch, disabled telocation provider, I have juice defender ultimate. 3g was on the whole time, usage was medium the first twelve hours, then j slept. Background data was on the whole time, and I never disabled 3g. Had wifi on some, used the GPS, lots of phone calls, texting, internet. Some YouTube as well. This is on the. 30 release. Km overclocked to 1300 and have every step undervolted by 50 or so.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
looks like they removed telocation.apk. good thing. We don't need to remove it by ourselves now..
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I removed it. ;)

When you load the cal lander do you sync it and then save settings?

You mean back up settings?

Sent from the frozen tundra known as Canada
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
No once you sync it, reboot the settings should then be saved.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Ok, thanks man.

Edit: nope, whenever I reboot it sticks at the widget loading stage but never loads. No biggie.

perfectly fine for me. only issue is i dont see or feel a difference with this or 1.9.30
[Captivate Android Development] Koizuma:
Interesting, I still had to remove it myself even with the new update. Not a big deal or anything since its really easy to do.

Flip Clock Widget

Can anyone confirm if the included Flip Clock Widget can display 12 hour format yet. I am on the previous version and it is 24 hour format only.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
That is the power of miui. Install the new update, have problems? Reboot to recovery and simply flash the previous rom and your choice of kernel.

Helps to format system and cache in recovery Mounts and Storage before flashing the update.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Did you uninstall it prior to updating to 1.10.7?

If you didn't then that would make sense since you are overwriting files, not removing any, hence why it is still there.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It is currently only in 24 hour mode. There is a mod for it to be 12 hours, but it has not been updated for some time.
[Captivate Android Development] Koizuma:
Yeah I uninstalled it completely before the update along with the VPNServices, and the Monitor.apk as well.
[Captivate Android Development] dsc522758:
Thanks. I found the mod here and it works.

Running great here so far. no issues.

On a side note, I see some people uninstalling/freezing the monitor.apk. What is that?
[Captivate Android Development] J-Wall:
One thing it does is monitor your data use and can warn you when there is too much activity.

Oh ok that! I know what that is now. Thanks

Test #1 - Successful!

- One install zip from stock/2.2

- No Odin, no initial kernel flash, no formatting, and no RC2

Test #2 (the big one) - Will be tested later today.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
ready whenever you are bro.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
is there a really good video player that will work on this rom? Like maybe the samsung video player.
[Captivate Android Development] Rang3r:
I have 2.3 rom, but i have clockworkmod too. Do I need go with step #1? Or #4 because I have custom recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
If you are coming from a 2.3 rom, you need to go back to stock and start at step 1.
[Captivate Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Hey guys sorry to bother. I just have a question - since I love this freakin rom to death I refuse to let it go. I am just having such terrible battery life that its killing meeee. I mean its real bad haha. But like I said I want this ROM. any ideas? future battery optimizations coming? Pleaaase
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
The battery issue is because this is based off CM7, so any bugs they have, we have. The battery life shouldn't be too bad, you should get at least 2 days with light - moderate usage. Make sure your gps and wifi are off when not in use, make sure you exit out of apps, check how often your apps sync, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Thanks for response. Yeah I am pretty good with all the small things to maintain good battery life. I just wish I didn't have to watch it drain as I use! I won't change ROMs though. This is the best Ive had. Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Video Player

Hey what video player are you guys using for this ROM since it didn't come with one?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Use MoboPlayer.
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Downloading now...Thanks!:o
[Captivate Android Development] ChiliPepper093:
Same with me. Just switched to this ROM the other day from Phoenix and I love it but the battery life was much worse. I changed the kernel to Platypus and its way better now so try that out
[Captivate Android Development] Rang3r:
Sorry for my stupid quiestions, but if i tried flash Platypus kernel from clockworkmod recovery, and then flash MIUI rom i will brick my device?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Why would you do that?

Kernel had nothing to do with boot loaders. If you have 2.3 boot loaders, you need to flash stock using odin one click to get back original boot loaders
[Captivate Android Development] Rang3r:
I don't do anything yet, i just to asking. And I to ask it, because download mode don't work (both volume button) only home + volume down + on, but it's not work too with odin.
[Captivate Android Development] Cozmo1:
I've got an interesting issue that I've yet to see anybody else mention. First off tho, this is my favorite ROM and I would be hard pressed to move over to another as it suits my needs almost perfectly. Course, there's a reason why I say almost and unfortunately it might be a deal breaker though I really hate saying that.

Put simply my radio (modem) appears to just stop working. Not with just one in particular, but with any I install. I started from stock installing Miui 1.5.3 on my Captivate as I generally do with new releases because upgrades will usually have some issues and I'd rather avoid those. Using the default install my radio just stops working. Well.. it goes through the motions like it is working on the screen, but I cannot hear anybody, they cannot hear me and I cannot hear it ringing. I do get the haptic feedback when the connection is established, but at that point it's just dead. Bluetooth verbal commands no longer are recognized in my car either. GPS does work fine. I'm like well, OK... I'll just install a different radio. I've tried JV0, JK4, JL2, JL3 all with the exact same issue. The issue persists using either the Kang kernel or the most recent Platypus kernel.

I'll probably later go through the process of wiping everything (backing up with Tibu, of course), starting from scratch (back to stock 2.1u1) and work my way back to Miui 1.5.3 again. It's not a real big deal, but it is rather confusing as to why this is occurring. I'm hoping someone has an idea or has experienced the same and fixed it.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
What theme are you using?

Is third-party access turned on in the call settings? If not, turn it on.

Moded Miui weather zip file

[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
No angry GPS on aosp rooms. Its a Samsung thing that just doesn't work on MIUI.
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
so what works on MIUI as far as GPS goes..
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
Never mind, battery life on this rom is not very good, back to other roms
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Really, this is from today

This is actually running the 1.9.16 update, not this Weeks.
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
Is it me or do all the MIUI releases since back in the 1.7 days seem to be even more buggy than the last? It seems they fix some bugs every week but then introduce new "features" or "functions" that seem to just cause more problems. I guess that's just part of the development world. :D

I still think 1.7.29 was my favorite. Rock solid and with pretty decent battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I thought 1.7.22 was actually a little better. Don't remember why, but I do.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
IMO, started from MIUI 1.8.X, the battery life got degraded. But, it's still good for me at least.

Yet, Samsung based ROMs have better battery life of course.
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
I actually think it started on 1.9.16.

I've had the same, if not better battery life than Samsung roms.

Am on glitch kernel and no oc/uv
[Captivate Android Development] balajisv:
Hi,

I'm not sure this has been asked/answered before and I also don't know if this should be asked on a different forum. I've been using MIUI for a while now and am quite happy with it. I have some minor sore points and was hoping to ask the experts out here. This is on a Samsung Galaxy S phone running the latest ROM (1.10.7).

1. Is there a way to turn off the beep that is heard whenever a call is connected/disconnected? I have asked elsewhere and haven't found a fix - IMO, it is quite loud and bothersome.

2. I'm guessing the led buttons don't light up on a screen touch with these ROMs. This has been the case for the past many ROMs. Any workaround/fixes?

3. The storage and mount/umount settings don't display the external SD card.

4. I've never gotten the device to show up when I use adb. Is that always the case?

5. How do I check if the phone has been sim/Network Unlocked? Using *#7465625# doesn't seem to work.

I understand this is a long list. I hope to get answers to at least a few of them. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
2. Using the Glitch kernel allows buttons to light up on screen touch.
[Captivate Android Development] fishfingers15:
I forgot to switch Kernels after flashing 1.10.7, good point that I read this thread again. I switched to Glitch and it's working great.

I didn't see telocation.apk, and I removed VPN Services now. I have the 'My location' still on. It doesn't eat too much battery in my device. I'm all set and looking good.
[Captivate Android Development] Secretcow:
Hey how do I uinstall VPN Services and Talk. I dont need either of them. Sorry if this was answered, I couldnt find this anywhere.

Also I'm really happy with the battery life. I got 10 hours with very heavy usage!

1. I don't think so

2. Use Glitch(as posted above)

3. I dont have an answer for this one

4. You need to install the drivers for the Nexus S

5. These codes are for Samsung based ROM's. Miui is not one of them, so those codes will not work

So far Glitch has really served me well with the Android System issue. Currently fighting a battle with Cell Standy by using roughly 30-40% daily and 0% without service.

Though last night I went to a friends where service was very hard to come by and the phone sat without service for a while though I had 3 bars of SOS? So now the Cell Standy by is at 65%, 6% without service.

Finally seem to have found a solution to my "Use Wireless Networks" not staying off. I always backup using the Backup app instead of TiBu because, well, it honestly just makes more sense.

Deleted one and lost root even knowing in the original superuser, I had "root permissions" checked on. Also, this may have been mentioned before, but I haven't read about it. The market didn't show most of the apps I have that required updating.

TLDR: two superuser apps appeared when updating the app, market didn't display all updates

and thats all i have seen about 2.3.6 or 2.3.7

[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Ok, prototype, if you or someone could help with this I would be eternally grateful. I had some issues today, oddly after trying the new neo kernel. Not saying it's related but a little coincidental. Anyways, my fancy widget clock started acting funny, and my swype died. Just died, out of the blue. The keyboard was dead. I messed around and was unable to get it back. I've read the install instructions for swype at their website and I always have issues with swype for some reason. I thought I'd saved a copy of the new version but I can't find it. If someone could please help with this. Proto, due to the popularity of that keyboard I suggest you consider including it in the next update. When I go through the motions and sign in to swype I download the installer, sign in to my account, download the latest swype, but when I go to install it, it says app not installed. That's what I'm left with. No swype and I can't stand the other keyboards. Even a post of the apk and where to install it,(I think it goes in data/app) but is there a lib file that goes with it? Sorry but I would really appreciate some help here. Thanks.

It's really easy, it seems like lately allot of people are wanting spoon fed everything. Just saying I like being helpful, but I know you specifically know how to find this kernel, as you've had it on your phone and discussed it with me. People need to learn to read or quit flashing stuff if they don't want to read.
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
@tkjeeper

Here's Zach's install instructions from his latest post:

1) backup your data .

2) install kernel + reboot into recovery (so that you're running recovery with new kernel).

3) format /system + factory reset.

4) re-flash ROM + re-flash kernel [without re-booting in between] .

5) reboot - now you can restore data [if restoring a nandroid - don't forgot to re-flash the kernel in the same session while still in cwm recovery without reboot in between

For Swype issues....

First I would make sure using Titanium Backup you uninstall Swype, as I've always heard that's the best way when having problems with install. Then from Proto's OP:

Q: How do I install Swype?

A: Download the Swype Installer from; http://beta.swype.com/ Follow the instructions all the way until you get to the end, do not click finish. Reboot the phone and swype will now work.

I hope this helps.
