[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Never ran MIUI before but been wanting to try it. Im running Mosaic V. I am 99% certain I am running the ATT GB bootloaders as when I reboot I see Galaxy S SGH-I897 and I know a while ago I flashed GB bootloaders.

I have read the past 50-60 pages, the faq, the instructions and still have questions.

1) Yea I should know but I am on the right bootloaders since it says SGH-I897 right after ATT world phone right? Havent flashed anything in over a month and just dont remember anything I did before!

2) The instructions are ultra simple for first time user, is there a gotcha?

3) To flash back to mosaic V if for some reason I dont like it is the same instructions basically as installing the ROM just a different zip?

4) Battery life is a tired discussion I gathered from reading. However, let me drag it out a bit more. I see "moderate use", "heavy use", etc defined but thats kinda subjective. I get 4 hrs combined screen and call time actual use out of Mosaic. Doesnt matter if I use it 4hrs straight or over the course of 24 hrs thats the limit of combined various usage. How does MIUI compare in that respect?

5) Do the kernels/default kernel have tun.ko support for VPN? I have to be able to use VPNC Widget and have ran into issues with some ROM's in the past.

6) I see reference to a zip from miui.us versus the version posted here. Whats the difference and which do I want? I have downloaded both.

7) Reading the problems others have, I should stick with the previous version 1.8.5 due to the radio issues to give this a fair shake right?

Lot of questions I know, but I try to be informed before I move forward.

Thanks in advance for input, will check back in a bit to see the deal before I flash. Kinda pumped, a guy I work with has a different phone but says MIUI is the best around.
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
1.8.5 would be your best bet for stability. I'm trying out galnet 1.8.12 and so it runs great, but stick with 1.8.5 to experience miui without any noticeable issues. As for flashing one click to stock, then just load rom into your phone and flash in cwm.

** I always leave my update.zip for cwm on phone so I don't have to root to install cwm.

Just a lot of cool ways to make your phone look sick.

My reply is in RED text in the quote.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Thanks for your help, will be flashing in a bit. I downloaded the version from this thread and also the 1.8.5 version for the captivate from this website. http://roms.miui.us/

i think that is the miui.us version I see others mentioning that has the extended power menu.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Correct which I perfer miui.us and like the tweaks proto adds so I put the 2 together.
[Captivate Android Development] smanzor88:
how do i backup launcher settings? is that possible?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Well.... TiBu seems to do that. What launcher are you using? MIUI's launcher is similar to the TW3 laincher but is doesn't have a dock.... more iPhone-ish. I personally prefer the dock but I also prefer Zeam Launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] smanzor88:
oh sorry im using miui launcher.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Use the backups option under settings>personal>Backup Data & Settings.

That will let you back up what you want, including your launcher setup. It might not be working, but it has in the past. I am on 1.8.5 and all it does is stay on pending. Maybe it got fixed with 1.8.12.
[Captivate Android Development] xaudiblex:
In terms of battery usage,

Light: about 2.5% per hour

Moderate: about 3-4% an hour

Heavy: untested

This is with the new platypus neo 16 test kernel and miui 1.8.12. I have oced to 1.2ghz and undervolted it
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Got around to doing the install and things arent going great so far. I did a factory reset (with mosaic V installed), flashed miui zip and it said something about checking BLN/???, rebooted, went to att world phone screen, then to Galaxy S Cyanogen(mod) screen and sat there about 15 minutes. Pulled battery and thats as far as it would get. I also couldnt get into recovery but could get in download.

Flashed back to stock using the one that doesnt mess with bootloaders as I do not want that risk again (On att GB bootloaders). Got everything working great at stock again including recovery, flashed the MIUI.us rom again and same outcome....stuck at Galaxy S Cyanogen(mod).

Any suggestions? I am following the instructions on the website to a tee I believe.

I am redownloading.

EDIT: Redownloaded and now it appears to be working. Will post again if there are issues. Appears to be a corrupted download.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Here is what I do.....

-flash stock no bootloaders... boot up then power off

-download talon and flash via odin (no auto reboot)

-pull battery and reinsert and go into CWM using vol ^v and power method.

-Once in...(if its not already on your SDCard) mounts and storage>mount usb and transfer the rom on your sdcard.

-Format /system

-Data/reset

-Clear Davlik

Flash ROM.....

it does do that step checking bml blah blah

it might reboot and go back into CWM and if it does.... select to flash the rom again.... then reboot.....

This is just what I do...
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
LOL. I am back to MIUI ROM again. Just now, betrayed MIUI and played with Continuum ROM for a few hours.

Continuum ROM advantages are SUPERB BATTERY and SUPER SMOOTH. ;)

MIUI ROM advantages are SUPERB GUI and INSANE CUSTOMIZATION!
[Captivate Android Development] arsen1977:
Hey guys

i have few questions..

Is it possible to remove TALK and Default Email from this rom?

The battery question has been beaten forever.. Using kernel talon mtd

i turned off everything that could possible drain the battery, changed the battery for a new one, problem still here.

Serendipity has a great battery life, it would last me for few days with no issues... is it possible to use serendipity kernel with miui 1.8.12? will it effect anything?

any help would be appriciated.

Thanx
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Bootloop or softbricks will love you if you do so. :)

To get better Battery Life from MIUI ROM:

a.) Get 3rd Party Kernel like TalonMTD, Glitch, Platypus or Escapist(Le Kernel Jour).

b.) UV it using Voltage Control or Pimp My CPU or Control Freak.

c.) Freeze some useless applications like Talk, Default Email, etc by using Titanium Backup.

d.) Apply the SuperCharger thingy(this is more advance, I don't know how to do this).
[Captivate Android Development] arsen1977:
:)

Allreat have TalonMtd

Can you please elaborate :)
[Captivate Android Development] hbk19:
Probably my major gripe with MIUI is the lack of a dock. ALTlauncher helps a little bit, but it isn't kept in memory, meaning it gets killed and starting it up from the dock takes too long. That, and we still have to keep all our apps somewhere on the homescreen (usually in folders).

[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
I did, happened on the first incoming call. Also have tried 2 versions behind 1.8.5
[Captivate Android Development] rizzo269:
I switched to the galnet version today to see how it works. Still haven't messed with the supercharger scripts, they are a little above my knowledge at this point.

Im curious as to how you guys are running gb bootloaders with miui. I tried to flash them and ended up only being able to boot to recovery. Was able to get back to jf6 so no biggie but I did want to give the gb loaders a shot with this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
What are you guys talking about being the data problem? I dont have a single one on MIUI 1.8.12
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
The super charge script isn't so difficult, get the script manager and apply the script. It'll display all the information you need to know. Refer to the super charger script thread for more information.

-Crash when receiving a phone call, flash to stock then master clear. Copy clockwork mod zip and flash. Then flash a miui rom zip and test making a call or receiving a call.

Miui-us on freenode irc chat or MiuiAndroid on freenode irc chat, join and ask there if the behavior repeats on a new install of miui from stock rom. Use an irc client, irc.freenode.net

And I should have stuck with 1.8.5 cause the data disable after reboot is a little annoying. One app I have allows setting a notification sound but when I try the theme manager opens. 1.8.5 and now 1.8.12 but previous versions worked as expected.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
THe problem most people have is after a reboot data is turned off when it was on prior. Some have also stated after rebooting that airplane mode was enabled causing data not to work for several minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Mine does turn the data off, but not the airplane mode thing, and the signal lock time is getting better for me after a reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] jpinks:
Ok been running this rom for about a week havent updated to 1.8.12 yet and I noticed that my wifi doesnt appear to be working. It wont connect to anything. Tries and then goes back to searching? Did I screw something up?
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
+1 Mine grabs a signal faster than previous versions of miui. I'm using miui.us with no scripts of any sort... just stock. JW2 modem, and Talon MTD kernel. The data off at reboot is the only problem.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Not sure what you mean.... I'm using Zeam Launcher..... it doesn't get closed.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
I just applied the v6 SuperCharger. I chose Multitasking Settings as my main course.

Is it good? Which 1 is better actually?

oh! i have changed the theme and its smooth now.before it was like a system without graphic drivers.and why is it taking so much time to recieving signal..first it said no signal then emergency calls only and now its catching signal.is it signal polling problem or modem problem?

hell yeah this rom is effin smooth!

and also can you change lock screens?

sorry for all the questions but i appreciate the help
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
battery life in my opinion has gotten a sh$t load better. use this kernel and try it out. so far it has the best battery life and its really smooth.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
hmm. it could have been the data that did you in. you could try uninstalling those apps and reinstalling and see how that goes. but in the end you might just have to reflash. do you just mean change the appearance of the lockscreen or change them like how 2.2 or 2.2.1 roms?
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Should not have to re-flash but should clear cache and dalvik cache. If they still FC, format Data and re-install from Market.

Yes, you can change lockscreen: Settings > Personal > Theme Manager > Edit theme > Lockscreen Style.

[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
I think I know what you mean when you say System data, but to be clear, System data from other ROMs should not be restored; app data can be, and I think that's what you mean.

Don't flame me if this has been asked before (cuz some of you can be real douches) , but is there any workaround for a 12-hr flip clock instead of the 24.

Volume and battery life are both currently issues with CM7, which this is based off of. Without the gingerbread source code, those issues will not be fixed.
